Explanation :
New York Times v. United States (1971) dealt with the issue of prior restraint, which refers to the government's ability to prevent information from being published or distributed before it is released to the public. The case involved the government attempting to stop the New York Times from publishing classified documents related to the Vietnam War. The Supreme Court ultimately ruled in favor of the New York Times, stating that the government did not have the legal authority to prevent the press from publishing information of public interest.
