Answer 1

According to the Lemon Test, in order for a government action to be legal under the First Amendment, it must have a secular purpose, its primary effect must not be to promote or inhibit religion, and it must not result in excessive entanglement between government and religion.

Among the options provided, the following would meet the Lemon Test and would be legal under the First Amendment:

1. Taxpayer money goes to a private religious school in order to furnish Bibles to all students.
This would not meet the Lemon Test and would likely be deemed unconstitutional. Providing religious materials to students using taxpayer money would violate the secular purpose requirement.

2. Taxpayer money goes to a private religious school in order to pay the salary of a school bus driver.
This would meet the Lemon Test and would be legal under the First Amendment. The primary purpose of providing financial support in this case is the secular purpose of transportation and not the promotion of religion.

3. Taxpayer money goes to a public school in order to pay the salary of a youth minister.
This would not meet the Lemon Test and would likely be deemed unconstitutional. Using taxpayer money to pay the salary of a youth minister would have the primary effect of promoting religion and would violate the secular purpose requirement.

4. Taxpayer money goes to a public school in order to pay for facilities used for religious meetings during instructional time.
This would not meet the Lemon Test and would likely be deemed unconstitutional. Using taxpayer money to fund religious activities during instructional time would have the primary effect of promoting religion and would violate the secular purpose requirement.
