The Scopes Trial in the history of the United States was a case in which a high school teacher was accused of infringing Tennessee's Butler Act. This was an act in which made it illegal to teach human evolution the schools that received aid from the state government. This trial was executed intentionally to bring publicity to the small town of Dayton, Tennessee. In this particular case, Scopes was uncertain about the fact that whether he had ever taught evolution, but he accused himself intentionally so the case could have a litigant.
When the case reached the court, Clarence Darrow fought the case for Scopes whereas, William Jennings Bryan contended for the prosecutor. In this case, Clarence Darrow and William Jennings Bryan were most intimately recognized with the Dispute between modernism and traditionalism.
