Question

In Roth v. United States, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the dominant theme of material, when taken as a whole, must be considered lewd or immoderate by contemporary community standards to be considered __________.

Answer 1

Answer:

obscene

Explanation:

Note that in the case of  Roth v. United States the U.S. Supreme Court allows banning of any material that tended to "deprave and corrupt those whose minds are open to such immoral influences", and was  considered "obscene" material.

This ruling led to the conviction of Samuel Roth, because he was sending "obscene or filthy" materials through the mail for advertising purposes.
