By freedom of information means that the general public has got the right to the data held by the national governments. Thus, it is a legal process in which the citizen may request for the government-held information to be received freely or at a minimal cost, barring standard exception. Right to know wouldn’t have come into existence without the work of several personalities on the respected nations. James Madison is one among them who is hailed as the “Father of the Constitution” for being instrumental in the drafting of the United States Constitution. He is also regarded as the key champion and author of the United States Bill of Rights. Freedom of Information Day celebrates and recognises a valuable concept in the American rights.

The date is precisely chosen as to James Madison, the freedom of information and individual rights were a significant thing. Thus this Day is a yearly reminder of the importance of transparency in the American government and the public’s right to information.

Freedom of Information Act declared that every person has the right to get the information to the federal agency documents that aren’t defended by one of the nine exemptions, or the particular law enforcement record exclusions. The act has opened up a wealth of information to the American citizens. Thus James Madison had held it and guaranteed that the citizens of the United States were able to get that information to which they were entitled. Freedom of Information is an extension of freedom of speech which is a fundamental human right that is recognized in international law. It is today understood more generally as freedom of expression in any medium including oral, written, print, through the Internet or the art forms.
