Aronow v. United States
Legal case / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aronow v. United States (1970) was a case heard by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit challenging the inclusion of "In God We Trust" on U.S. currency.[1] The lawsuit alleged that a law passed by Congress (Pub. L.Tooltip Public Law (United States) 84–140) requiring that "the inscription 'In God we Trust'... shall appear on all United States currency and coins"[2] was a violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.[1]
