The jury did not disappoint him. Scopes was found guilty and fined $100 (almost $1,300 in today's money). The Tennessee Supreme Court later upheld the constitutionality of the statute but overturned Scopes' conviction on a technicality. Bryan, meanwhile, died only five days after the conclusion of the Monkey Trial.

The Scopes "Monkey Trial" was a famous legal case in the United States that put the Butler Act to the test, which established that it was illegal in every educational establishment of the state of Tennessee "the teaching of any theory that denies the history of the Divine Creation of the man as it is explained in the Bible, and replace it with the teaching that man descends from an order of inferior animals". It is the most resounding legal case in the history of the ideological battle between creationism and evolutionism.

John Scopes, a high school teacher, was accused on May 5, 1925 of teaching evolution using a chapter of a textbook that was based on ideas inspired by Charles Darwin's book The Origin of Species. The trial involved two of the most brilliant lawyers of the time. On the one hand William Jennings Bryan, member of the congress, former Secretary of State, and three times presidential candidate was in charge of the prosecution and accusation, while the prominent litigation lawyer Clarence Darrow led the defense.

The process attracted enormous attention from the press (which was what immediately called it "the monkey's trial") and from the American public, especially when the famous lawyer Clarence Darrow agreed to defend the defendant. Despite his brilliant final plea, Scopes was convicted by the Court, albeit only a symbolic fine and not a prison sentence as requested by the prosecutor.

What protections were built into the Charter of the Medieval Town of Lorris, France for the tenant or homeowner?
Jlenok [28]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

The protections that were built into the Charter of the Medieval Town of Lorris, France for the tenant or homeowner were the following.

The King was very interested in the protection of the people of France in that they were "the motor" of the economy of the Middle Ages.

The French small towns had active participation in the economy of the kingdom and had to be protected in those dark ages of the centuries 11th and 12th.

In this case, the charter of Lorris, France, was granted by King Louis VII. The year: 1155.

The charter included important articles such as that the inhabitants of Lorris only needed to pay "sixpence" for their homes and for each acre of land they owned. The charter clearly said that nobodu¿y could force the people to pay extra taxes. People were forced to travel far away to the degree they could not return home on the same day. People were exempted to pay tolls when they crossed the regions of Orleans, Milly, or Etampes. People could not be arrested when they were working in the markets. The only exception was if they were disturbing the peace of the place.
