"In his 1644 treatise, John Milton delivered a powerful defense of free speech and a critique of state censorship. Addressed to the British Parliament during the height of the English Civil War, the work argued that the pursuit of truth requires an open 'marketplace of ideas' rather than government-mandated licensing."
