Explanation:

To support the claim that Black views the press as a safeguard against government abuse, we analyze each option:

• The first option is about the government's launch in 1789, which has no relation to the press and government abuse.
• The second option, "The press was to serve the governed, not the governors," implies that the press is for the people (governed) and not to support the government (governors). This shows the press acts as a safeguard by serving the people against potential government abuse.
• The third option is about a government case being dismissed, which doesn't relate to the press's role as a safeguard.
• The fourth option is about the Bill of Rights changing the Constitution, with no connection to the press and government abuse.

Answer:

B. The press was to serve the governed, not the governors.
