Answer:

D. By keeping the government from serving as the only source of information

Step-by-step explanation:

It cannot be A as the constitution couldn't really affect anything in foreign countries.

It can't be B because the quote is about liberty and freedom, not what is free for the government and what is not.

It can't be C because C can't really be considered liberty.
