Abstract

The case New York Times Co. v. United States was a landmark case that involved the right of a free press and the fundamental First Amendment rights of the American People. What follows is an exploration into this case and how it reached the Supreme Court. First we will examine a brief history of what became to be known as the "Pentagon Papers" and finally look into each decision reached in the federal courts, and of course the decision of the Supreme Court.
