According to Hamilton, what is at stake in Zenger's trial?
the freedom of every resident of the British
Empire
the freedom of every colonist in the English
colonies
The question before the Court and you,
Gentlemen of the jury, is not of small or
private concern. It is not the cause of one
poor printer, nor of New York alone, which
you are now trying. No! It may in its
consequence affect every free man that lives
under a British government on the main of
America. It is the best cause. It is the cause of
liberty...
