@glynmoody The Freedom of the Press Act of 1766 ended government censorship and ensured public access to official government documents (The Principle of Public Access). The act was a victory for priest, scientist, philosopher and politician Anders Chydenius from Österbotten, that had laid out his ideas on the principles of liberalism and free markets in his book The National Gain in 1765, years before Adam Smith. Freedom of religion and banning of torture were also his achievements. #Sweden
