Book Overview

""Obscene Literature and Constitutional Law: A Forensic Defense of Freedom of the Press"" is a legal treatise written by Theodore S. Schroeder. The book explores the intersection of the First Amendment's guarantee of free speech and the government's ability to regulate obscene literature. Schroeder argues that the government's attempts to regulate obscene literature violate the constitutional right to free speech and that the definition of obscenity is too vague and subjective to be enforced fairly. The book provides a detailed analysis of several landmark obscenity cases, including Roth v. United States and Miller v. California, and argues that the courts have been inconsistent in their application of the law. Schroeder also discusses the history of censorship and the societal attitudes towards obscenity, arguing that the government's attempts to regulate obscenity are rooted in moralistic and puritanical beliefs that have no place in a free society. Overall, ""Obscene Literature and Constitutional Law"" is a compelling defense of free speech and a call to action for those who believe in the importance of protecting the First Amendment.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
