Explanation:

The Butler Law prohibited teaching evolution in Tennessee schools. John T. Scopes was arrested for teaching Darwin's theory of evolution, leading to the Scopes Monkey Trial. Clarence Darrow was the defense attorney, William Jennings Bryan was the prosecutor, and James Cox is not related to this event.

D. John T. Scopes
