Description
"Sexual Rights in America presents a bold look at the constitutional basis of sexual rights in America. Resurrecting the "forgotten" Ninth Amendment of the Constitution's Bill of Rights, which guarantees those fundamental rights not protected elsewhere in the Constititution, the authors argue that the freedom to choose how, when, and with whom we express ourselves sexually is integral to our happiness. Their careful review of the historical record reveals the importance of the "pursuit of happiness" in the socio-moral philosophy underpinning the Constitution. Sexual freedom, they assert, is cut from the same cloth as the other freedoms protected by the Bill of Rights and should be covered by the Ninth Amendment." "Using examples such as prostititution, phone sex, and child pornography, Sexual Rights in America illustrates the scope and limitations of Ninth Amendment sexual rights. This daring and intriguing book will revolutionize how America conceptualizes sex."--Jacket.
