Everson v. Board of Education was a landmark Supreme Court Decision that incorporated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the states, via the due process clause of the 14th Amendment. Everson was also important because the Court gave guidelines for state aid to religious institutions:

1) the aid must have a secular purpose (in this case, it was to provide safe transportation to students).

2) the aid must be indirect (in Everson, it was paid to parents and not to religious

schools)

3) the beneficiaries of the aid must not be religious institutions (in Everson, the

beneficiaries of the aid were children).
