Focusing on the critique of censorship, John Milton's work argues against the Licensing Order of 1643, which mandated pre-approval for published works. He emphasizes that such regulations stifle creativity and the exchange of ideas, ultimately enabling government overreach. Milton contends that individuals should not face state punishment for expressing controversial viewpoints, highlighting the potential for abuse inherent in censorship. His logical arguments advocate for the necessity of free speech and press as essential to a vibrant society, incompatible with true nationalism and patriotism.
