Answer 1

The Supreme Court's ruling in Lemon v. Kurtzman established the Lemon test, which set three criteria for determining whether a law violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. These criteria include that the law must have a secular purpose, its primary effect must not be to advance or inhibit religion, and it must not result in excessive entanglement between government and religion.
