In Lemon v. Kurtzman (1971) the Court clarified the Establishment Clause by announcing the three‑pronged "Lemon test": a law must have a secular purpose, its principal effect must neither advance nor inhibit religion, and it must avoid excessive government entanglement with religion. This framework constrained state support for religious schools and provided a widely used standard for evaluating government‑religion interactions.
