Excuse my lack of knowledge on the matter,did Frederick benefit from freedom of speech?

I doubt it. Freedom of speech doesn't really benefit the ruler of a nation anymore than total freedom of speech by a child benefits the parent.

Yet he won the 1870 plebiscite by a landslide.

Did he however benefit from freedom of speech? Debatable.
