Background Info Scopes Trial formally known as the Scopes Monkey Trial. American legal case in which a high school teacher (John Scopes) was accused of violating Tennessee’s Butler Act, which made it unlawful to teach human evolution. Wanted to change the Butler Act and be able to teach evolution.

Who is John Scopes? 1900-1970 Math/ Science Teacher at Rhea County Central High School in Dayton, Tennessee. Football coach Disobeyed the curriculum and the law to teach evolution to his classes.

Defense vs prosecution John Scopes Lawyer: Clarence Darrow Darrow wanted John Scopes to plead guilty and admit his wrongdoings in court But argued that the Butler Act violated the separation of church and state and violated his freedom to express personal views Prosecution The State of Tennessee Lawyer: William Jennings Bryan Bryan believed that communities were justified in setting curriculum standards in tax- supported schools But was overruled by his colleagues who chose to argue science and religion

Lasting effects Religion vs. Science The judge made clear to the jury that the law’s constitutionality or efforts to support the validity of Darwin’s theory were not relevant The only isSUE WAS WHETHER OR NOT SCOPES PRESENTED EVOLUTION AS A FACT- he admitted, so he was fined $100 Later the fine to scopes was seen as excessive and his conviction was reversed Regarded as the “opening scene” in american drama because the teaching of evolution flourishes in public schools today
