So, the Founder were printing what government secrets they could
uncover because they were in support of the British Government, or were
they in opposition to said government?

Well that's the peculiar thing, the law doesn't make the distinction
between political speech that is in favor of the government, or
against it.

It doesn't matter if you are nazi or the jdl. Doesn't matter if
your red or blue. Doesn't matter if your The Progressive or the
NY Times. Doesn't matter if you're daniel ellsberg or karl rove.

The founder[s] wanted citizens to be able to speak out freely
about any political activity, and they wanted the government's
ability to poke around in citizens' affairs kept under check.

Hence the first, and fourth amendments.

If it's political speech, it's protected.

Searches must happen pusuant to a warrant issued on probably
cause.
