Abstract

In Barnes v. Glen Theatre, Inc., the Supreme Court ruled that nude dancing was expressive activity and thus protected by the First Amendment. The Court also held, however, that it was constitutionally permissible for a state to prohibit the activity in that there was a sufficiently important governmental interest in the regulation of nude dancing. This Note will first briefly outline the legal background pertaining to First Amendment protection of nude dancing.
