Comstock Act  

Definición

  • The Comstock Act (), enacted March 3, 1873, and named after social reformer Anthony Comstock, made it illegal to circulate “obscene” or “immoral” materials through the U.S. postal system or across state lines. Since that time, the constitutionality of the act has been upheld, and following the removal of references within the act to contraceptive devices, the act remains U.S. law today.
