Answer :
The correct response is d. Sacco and Vanzetti. The Scopes trial in Tennessee and the Sacco and Vanzetti trial in Massachusetts both exposed widespread American apprehensions about immigrants, radical politics, and the ways in which new scientific theories can conflict with old Christian beliefs.
Alessandro Berardelli and Frederick Parmenter, a guard and a paymaster, respectively, were killed during the armed robbery of the Slater and Morrill Shoe Company in Braintree, Massachusetts, on April 15, 1920, according to Nicola Sacco, two controversially accused Italian immigrant anarchists. At Charlestown State Prison, they were put to death in the electric chair seven years later. On July 14, 1921, after a brief period of deliberation, the jury found Sacco and Vanzetti guilty of first-degree murder. The trial judge then executed the pair. The verdict was thought to have been substantially influenced by anti-Italian, anti-immigrant, and anti-Anarchist prejudice. The private Sacco and Vanzetti Defense Committee provided the majority of the funding for a number of subsequent appeals. The appeals were based on contradictory ballistics evidence, retracted testimony, a jury foreman's prejudiced pretrial statement, and a purported robbery participant's confession. Both the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court and trial judge Webster Thayer rejected all appeals. The case received widespread media coverage by 1926. As information about the case and the men's alleged innocence spread, Sacco and Vanzetti found themselves at the heart of one of the biggest causes célèbres in contemporary history. There were demonstrations in support of them in 1927 in all the major cities of North America and Europe, as well as in Tokyo, Sydney, Melbourne, So Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Dubai, Montevideo, Johannesburg, and Auckland.
