The basis of out constitution or rather the foundation upon which our
             country is built has from the beginning stressed the importance of
             separation between the church and the state. On the contrary to this

             part of the conservative south in the 1920's would have opposed of such
             thesis and would have prohibited the teaching of it. The Scopes Trial, a
             major political as well as historical event was the trial, which roved
             that although it is against religion to believe in the Darwin scientific
             theories of evolution, it should still be legal and not against religion
             to learn and teach them. The Defendant, John Scopes in this case was a
