−	~~The '''Lemon test''' was set forth in 1971 by the [[U.S. Supreme Court]] to enforce the [[Establishment Clause]] of the [[First Amendment]]. ''~~[[Lemon v. Kurtzman]]'', 403 U.S. 602 (1971). The test requires that all federal and state laws (1) have a [[secular]] purpose, (2) a primary effect that neither advances nor inhibits [[religion]], and (3) no excessive [[government]] entanglement with religion. If any law violates any part of this three-pronged test, then it will be stricken by the courts and declared unconstitutional.	+	#REDIRECT [[Lemon v. Kurtzman]]
