Roth v. United States
''Roth v. United States'', ,〔''Roth v. United States'', .〕 along with its companion case ''Alberts v. California'', was a landmark case before the United States Supreme Court which redefined the Constitutional test for determining what constitutes obscene material unprotected by the First Amendment.
== Prior history ==
Under the common law rule that prevailed before ''Roth'', articulated most famously in the 1868 English case ''Hicklin v. Regina'', any material that tended to "deprave and corrupt those whose minds are open to such immoral influences" was deemed "obscene" and could be banned on that basis. Thus, works by Balzac, Flaubert, James Joyce and D. H. Lawrence were banned based on isolated passages and the effect they might have on children.
Samuel Roth, who ran a literary business in New York City, was convicted under a federal statute criminalizing the sending of "obscene, lewd, lascivious or filthy" materials through the mail for advertising and selling a publication called ''American Aphrodite'' ("A Quarterly for the Fancy-Free") containing literary erotica and nude photography. David Alberts, who ran a mail-order business from Los Angeles, was convicted under a California statute for publishing pictures of "nude and scantily-clad women." The Court granted ''()''] and affirmed both convictions.
