Which of the following acts as an additional check on governmental power by supplying the general voting public with facts about current issues and the actions of their leaders? a. freedom of assembly b. freedom of the press c. freedom of religion d. right to trial by jury

B. Freedom of the Press

The 1st Amendment guarantees freedom of the press to American people. This means that the news outlets have access to government affairs and to report them to their followers.

This keeps the government in check because the people are informed of the gov business and the gov has the answer to the people. Officials will not be re-elected if the people do not like their policies and actions as reported by the press.

Primary sources are usually  more accurate and are written by someone who experienced it or witnessed it. secondary sources are those who heard of it after the fact that can lose details and or twist the event in a light that benefits them.
