Which Supreme Court case defined the rules for government legislation regarding religious agencies or religion in general?
A. Brown v. Board of Education
B. Berghuis v. Thompkins
C. Lemon v. Kurtzman
D. Coffin v. United States
E. Katz v. United States
Answer: C. Lemon v. Kurtzman
Explanation: The Lemon v. Kurtzman case of 1971 determined that government legislation or action cannot advance or inhibit religion, and must have a secular (non-religious) purpose. Thus, if the purpose of the law is in any way religious in nature, it is not constitutional. This is known as the "Lemon Test."
