B. Freedom of the Press

The 1st Amendment guarantees freedom of the press to American people. This means that the news outlets have access to government affairs and to report them to their followers.

This keeps the government in check because the people are informed of the gov business and the gov has the answer to the people. Officials will not be re-elected if the people do not like their policies and actions as reported by the press.
