Answer:

The correct answer is C. During the Scopes Trial, Clarence Darrow argued that science had refuted religious claims about the origin of humanity.

Explanation:

In 1925, Darrow defended John Thomas Scopes in the still famous Monkey Trial. Scopes was judged for teaching the theory of the evolution of species in a state school in Tennessee. The charge was "to teach a theory that denies the history of the Divine Creation of man as set forth in the Bible, teaching instead that man descends from a low order of animals."

The accuser and main witness was the fundamentalist William Jennings Bryan. When Darrow interrogated him, Bryan had to accept that the biblical account of creation could not be interpreted in six days as if it were 24-hour days but as six indeterminate periods of time. Darrow demonstrated to public opinion the delusion of a literal interpretation of the Bible and the need to teach scientific theories in schools. Although the judge sentenced Scopes to pay a $ 100 fine, the trial immensely discredited Bryan and fundamentalism and was a triumph for Scopes as a teacher.

I believe the correct answer is A. He determined that Scopes was within his constitutional right to free speech.  Because Clarence Darrow spoke for Scopes.

What are the provisions of the Dawes plan
lbvjy [14]
The Dawes Act was a plan that reorganized the territory of Native Americans in the US. Instead of land being owned communally (by the entire community) the plots of land were broken up into 160 acre lots, in which each family would receive.

From there, families would be expected to take up farming in order to be more assimilated into American culture. The ultimate goal would be to prove themselves as self-sufficient farmers. The federal government made it so that if the Native American family proved their abilities as farmers (over a 25 year stretch) they would gain acknowledgement of their competencies and receive complete ownership of the land.

If the family failed at farming before the 25 year period was over, the land would go back to belonging to the government. From there, the government would sell the land to someone else (usually white settlers).

Title of the Article: The Great Cost of Louisiana.

Newspaper: Up to date.

Reporter: Brad Jackson.

Editor: Peter Douglas.

Date: March 18, 2018

Thommas Jefferson, not only has been remembered for being the forerunner of the Independence of the United States, but also for the purchase of Louisiana, a territory of French domination until 1803.

Approximately 216 years have passed since that great negotiation and for the new generations it is very important that we know why that purchase was made. Louisiana was a round business, the best the United States could do, since it greatly favored the Agriculture and Livestock sectors and because the Mississippi River was in it.

Summary

Napoleon Bonaparte sold to Thommas Jefferson the territory of Louisiana for the not inconsiderable sum of 23,213,568 dollars. This sale was of great importance to the president of the United States who did not resist the idea of ​​thinking that Spain and France had powers in which they had the power to block the passage of merchants from the United States, who used the territory.

Given Napoleon's preference to sell this vast territory and Jefferson's need to maintain control over the Mississippi River, the purchase of Louisiana by the United States took place. As it can be noticed, this transaction favored both countries, both France and the United States.
