10 июл 1925 г. - Trial began of John T. Scopes, accused of violating Tennessee law by teaching evolution—contradicting the teachings of the Bible. The prosecution was led by William Jennings Bryan and the defense by prominent defense lawyer Clarence Darrow. Scopes was convicted and fined $100. On 01/17/1927 the State Supreme Court ruled that the statute was constitutional but the fine exceeded the Judge’s discretion. The US Supreme Court does not rule on the issues in this case until 1968
