BIRTH CONTROL

Margaret Sanger was arrested in 1916 for opening the country's first birth control clinic (in Brooklyn, NY). She also had been in violation of existing laws by publishing and distributing <em>The Woman Rebel </em>newsletter, which discussed contraception. The laws in question were called "The Comstock Laws," on the books since 1873. The first of such Comstock Laws was the 1873 federal act for the "Suppression of Trade in, and Circulation of, Obscene Literature and Articles of Immoral Use," which made it illegal to distribute materials regarding contraception (and other sex-related topics) by US mail. .Anthony Comstock was a US Postal Inspector who had been behind the push for such laws.

Sanger appealed her conviction under the Comstock Laws. In 1918, Judge Frederick Crane of the New York Court of Appeals upheld Sanger's conviction. But in his ruling, he also issued a revised interpretation of New York's state law, saying that physicians could legally prescribe contraception for general health reasons, not just for prevention of the spread of venereal disease. It was a court ruling that allowed allowed women in general at least some access to contraception, and was the beginning of the success of the birth control movement that Sanger championed.

Answer:

The following agreements were not part of the Missouri Compromise:

-admit Missouri as a free state

-admit Maine as a slave state

-Congress could not determine the expansion of slavery into the territories

Explanation:

The Missouri Compromise was an agreement taken in 1820 between the representatives of the slave and abolitionist states in the United States Congress in relation to the regulation of slavery in the Western territories, which in the future would become states, to maintain the majority, or at least equality, of the number of states opposed to slavery, existing from the creation of the United States until then.

The compromise arose from the need to maintain the balance that existed between the 11 non-slave states (New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, founders, and Vermont, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois), and the other 11 slave states (Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, founders, and Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama), when discussing in 1819 the law of admission of the new state of Missouri, slave, which would unbalance the composition of the Senate (each state had and has two representatives, regardless of its population), in favor of the slave states. In the House there was no such balance because its representatives were elected proportionally to the population, larger in the northern states.

The negotiated solution that was reached, the following year, on March 2, 1820, consisted in admitting the state of Missouri as a slave state, while creating the state of Maine, (which depended on the state of Massachusetts), as a non-slave state.

Also, and to maintain in the future the balance between states of one type and another, it was agreed to establish a dividing line, defined by the parallel 36º 30 ', as the future limit of the western slavery and abolitionist states.
