Question

Why is the Lemon Test necessary?(1 point)

Answer 1

The Lemon Test is necessary to determine whether a government action violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, which prohibits the government from making any law "respecting an establishment of religion." The Lemon Test provides a framework for courts to analyze whether a government action complies with this constitutional principle by requiring that the action must have a secular purpose, must neither advance nor inhibit religion, and must not result in excessive entanglement between government and religion.
