obscenity cases  

Définition(s)

  • The U.S. Supreme Court has consistently held that obscenity is not protected by the provisions for freedom of speech and press within the First Amendment, but it has had difficulty in establishing how to identify obscenity. The Court thus has relied chiefly on three “guidelines” articulated in Miller v. California (1973): whether the material appeals to the prurient (morbid or shameful) interest in sex, whether the material depicts sexual materials in a patently offensive way, and whether the material has any serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.
