add notes on Illinois standing and jurisdiction
In [[Establishment Clause]] cases, plaintiffs challenge religion in public life based on two separate types of standing: (1) taxpayer standing, and (2) non-economic injury, such as alleged offense or feeling of exclusion. ''See Flast v. Cohen'' and ''Hein v. Freedom from Religion Foundation''.

==In state courts==
Standing requirements to bring suit in state courts are derived from state constitutions and are typically less stringent than federal standing requirements. For example, in Illinois, the circuit courts "have original jurisdiction of all justiciable matters except when the Supreme Court has
original and exclusive jurisdiction relating to redistricting of the General Assembly and to the ability of the Governor to serve or resume office."<ref>Illinois constitution, art. VI, section 9</ref>
