What is Endorsement test?
The '''endorsement test''' was proposed by [[Sandra Day O'Connor]], a member of the [[United States Supreme Court]]. She suggested it in her judgment in a lawsuit called [[Lynch v. Donnelly]] in 1984. The endorsement test is a question that you can ask if you think that the government is doing something in favor of religion. According to the [[United States Constitution]], the government cannot [[wikt:endorse|endorse]] any particular religion, and cannot endorse religion in general. The test asks: is the government doing something that makes people ''think ''that the government endorses religion? If so, that government act may not be allowed under the Constitution. {{Stub}} [[Category:United States law]] [[Category:Religion in the United States]]
