The correct answer is: Freedom of the press.The Supreme Court upheld the constitutional protection of freedom of the press in its decision regarding the publication of the material referenced in the excerpt above. The excerpt states that the publication of the material by the Times and the Post would not cause direct and immediate harm to the security of the United States, and that the guarding of military and diplomatic secrets at the expense of an informed representative government provides no real security for the Republic. This indicates that the Supreme Court recognized the importance of a free and informed press as a fundamental aspect of a representative government, and upheld the First Amendment protection of freedom of the press in this case.
