Roth v. United States
Roth v. United States On 24 June 1957, the Supreme Court ruled (7–1) that the First Amendment did not protect pornography, and enunciated its first definition of obscenity: material that a typical person would consider as primarily concerned with lewdly exciting sexual desires. The Court revised this understanding of pornography in Miller v. California.
