New York Times vs The United States was a legal case in which the Supreme Court ultimately ruled in favor of the newspaper to publish classified Pentagon papers without the risk of being censored by the government. President Nixon, relying on executive authority, attempted to force The New York Times into not publishing the documents.

The court based its decision on the first amendment of the Constitution, which prevented the government to create laws that would censor the right of freedom of speech of the citizens.
