1925 Scopes “Monkey Trial” pitted religious conservatives against:
A) Supreme Court, which ruled that the teaching of evolution was unconstitutional in American Schooling.
B) Liberals who believed that Darwinism should be taught in the school curriculum.

Once again, the answer is B but I need a way to argue that A is the answer…

Can anyone help?



Sorry, this one won’t work. Here’s why: the religious conservatives wanted evolution to be unconstitutional. If the Supreme Court “ruled that the teaching of evolution was unconstitutional in American Schooling” then the Supreme Court wouldn’t be “pitted against” the religious conservatives, since they’re on the same side!
