Question

In Near v. Minnesota ex rel. Olson (1931), the Supreme Court held that the state of Minnesota could not restrict the publishing of a local newspaper because it previously published a "scandal sheet" that printed disagreements with local officials and implicating them in involvement with gangsters. Which case and rule relates to Near v. Minnesota ex rel. Olson (1931)?

New York Times Co. v. United States (1971)—prior restraint

Step-by-step explanation:

I got it right on the test.

Answer 2

The case New York Times Co. v. United States (1971)

Step-by-step explanation:

The case New York Times Co v. the United States in 1971 was similar to the case Near v. Minnesota ex rel. Olson in 1931 because in the New York Times Case the Nixon administration attempted to suppress the publication of the newspaper because it would publish a top-secret that involved the US military in Vietnam.

The Supreme Court decided that the government could not suppress the publication of the newspaper because it would violate the 1st Amendment that guaranteed freedom of the press.
