"Loi du 29 juillet 1881 sur la Liberté de la Presse" by Jules Grévy and Jules Ferry is a French law enacted in 1881 during the Third Republic. This landmark legislation established the framework for press freedom and expression in France, abolishing prior authorization and financial deposits required for publication. It shifted from a preventive censorship system to one where only specific offenses are punished after publication. The law defines the rights and responsibilities of French press, covering publications, public displays, and street sales. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
