Ginsberg v. New York (1968)

Ginsberg v. New York (1968) was a Supreme Court case that addressed whether states could restrict access to material deemed inappropriate for minors. Benjamin Ginsberg sold adult magazines but was convicted under New York law for selling to a 16-year-old. The Court ruled that states have the right to protect minors from harmful content, distinguishing between what is acceptable for adults versus children. This decision affirmed the authority of states to limit minors' access to explicit materials, balancing First Amendment rights with children's welfare.
