Wholesale Sex and the Constitution: From America's Origins to Now

This is a one-volume history that delves into the evolution of sex in America. It begins by examining how the Founding Fathers, influenced by their philosophical forebears, saw traditional Christianity as an obstacle to human progress. They crafted a constitution that expressed the fundamental values of the Enlightenment. In the nineteenth century, Americans viewed sex as a private concern, with sexual expression and contraception freely circulating. However, the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries saw a shift in tolerance, with new laws banning pornography, contraception, and abortion. This is a must read now more than ever.
