Definición

  • In Ex parte Jackson, 96 U.S. 727 (1877), the Supreme Court ruled that Congress did not violate the free speech clause of the First Amendment by closing the postal system to literature concerning lotteries, although it lacked the constitutional authority to prevent such materials from circulating by other means. Government control of lotteries, moderate during the first half of the nineteenth century, had stiffened during the second half, and most states banned lotteries outright.
