The Court's decision in this case established the "Lemon test", which details the requirements for legislation concerning religion. It consists of three prongs:
- The government's action must have a secular legislative purpose;
- The government's action must not have the primary effect of either advancing or inhibiting religion;
- The government's action must not result in an "excessive government entanglement" with religion.
