Aldred's Case

Aldridge's Case was a court case from the 1700s that was important for the First Amendment. In the case, a Protestant minister named John Aldridge was arrested and jailed for preaching against the Church of England. The court ruled that this was wrong, and that the First Amendment protects people's right to freely express their religious beliefs. This was an important case because it set a precedent for other cases and showed that the right to free speech is crucial to our society.
