Question

1. which sentence best proves that justice black opposes prior restraint on the press? our government was launched in 1789... i adhere to the view that the government’s case... should have been dismissed... both the history and language of the first amendment support the view that the press must be left free to publish news... without censorship, injunctions, or prior restraints. they especially feared that the new powers... might be interpreted...

Explanation:

To determine which sentence proves Justice Black opposes prior restraint on the press, we analyze each option:

• The first option about the government's launch in 1789 is irrelevant to press restraint.
• The second option about dismissing the government's case doesn't directly address prior restraint on the press.
• The third option explicitly states that the First Amendment's history and language support the press being free to publish without censorship, injunctions, or prior restraints, directly showing opposition to prior restraint.
• The fourth option about fears of power interpretation is not related to Justice Black's stance on press prior restraint.

Answer:

C. Both the history and language of the First Amendment support the view that the press must be left free to publish news... without censorship, injunctions, or prior restraints.
