Answer:
The 1925 Tennessee trial in which a public schoolteacher faced charges of violating the state's law prohibiting the teaching of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution was called the Scopes Monkey Trial.
Explanation:
The Scopes Trial was a court case where the teacher John Scopes was prosecuted in the Tennessee Criminal Court on July 21, 1925 for teaching developmental doctrine, which was contrary to Tennessee's then-current legislation. He was sentenced to $ 100 in fines and after that, the theory came to play a very small role in American schools in favor of the Bible's creation story. When the US-Soviet space race began in 1957, an increasing emphasis was placed on natural science subjects in the United States.
This trial was a more temporary accentuation of the long-standing tension between the so-called fundamentalists, who asserted the full authority of the Bible and more moderate directions. It was also one of the fundamentalists' leaders, W. J. Bryan, who charged Scopes, who, despite a convincing defense performed in his favor, was convicted of a violation of law. In January 1927, the Tennessee Supreme Court affirmed the laws in question, but annulled the court decision declaring Scope's guilty.
