Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In Miller v. California (1973), the Supreme Court established the Miller Test to determine whether material is considered obscene. The material must meet three criteria: (1) whether the average person, applying contemporary community standards, would find that the work, taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest, (2) whether the work depicts or describes, in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct specifically defined by the applicable state law, and (3) whether the work, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value. Thus, material must have a deficit of meaningful artistic, literary, political, or scientific worth to be considered obscene.
