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.
