President Roosevelt authorized the internments with his Executive Order No. 9066, issued on February 19, 1942. For this week's assignment you will be looking at FDR’s Executive Order No. 9066. Read through this document and answer the questions below. You should answer the questions completely and concisely. Questions: 1. The Supreme Court has made positive and negative steps during its existence. Where does the Korematsu case fall in your eyes and what are two other cases you might take issue with? 2. Had any exclusions existed previously in the United States (meaning something that kept a group of people out of the country)? What were they, who did they apply to and when (hint, look to the 1880s)? 3. What are the Constitutional issues with this case (specifically in respect to circumventing constitutional rights), and what occurred in the Korematsu vs. United States supreme court case of 1944? Most importantly, how did the case END? Sufficient =300 words, substantive and addresses the prompt.

Paper For Above instruction

During World War II, the U.S. government’s decision to intern Japanese Americans via Executive Order 9066 marked a significant and controversial moment in American legal and constitutional history. The Korematsu case, formally Korematsu v. United States (1944), exemplifies a pivotal judicial decision that has been both criticized and debated concerning the balance between national security and individual constitutional rights. In my view, the Korematsu case represents a negative stance by the Supreme Court, as it upheld the constitutionality of internment based primarily on racial discrimination, thus violating principles of equal protection under the law. Two other cases raising concern include Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), which sanctioned racial segregation under the "separate but equal" doctrine, and Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857), which denied citizenship and rights to African Americans. These cases similarly condoned racial discrimination and demonstrated how the Court sometimes permits violations of constitutional rights under the guise of societal or federal interests.

Historically, exclusions based on race or nationality have existed long before WWII. Notably, the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 explicitly barred Chinese laborers from immigrating to the United States, reflecting racial discrimination embedded in immigration policy. This act was the first significant legal restriction based on ethnicity and set a precedent for future exclusionary laws targeting specific groups. The racial and ethnic exclusions persisted, and the internment order during WWII can be viewed as an extension of these discriminatory policies, justified by wartime fears rather than constitutional principles.

Constitutionally, the Korematsu case involved serious issues regarding due process, equal protection, and the excesses of governmental authority during wartime. The core constitutional concern was whether executive orders could override constitutional rights based on race and national security. In Korematsu v. United States, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that the internment was justified due to wartime exigencies, thus endorsing the executive’s authority over individual rights. The decision upheld the constitutionality of the exclusion, citing the authority of the government to protect national security, but it effectively permitted racial discrimination and set a troubling precedent. The case was ultimately resolved with the Court's decision affirming the internment, which has since been widely criticized for its violation of civil liberties.

The Korematsu decision is now widely regarded as one of the worst Supreme Court decisions, highlighting how judicial abdication can occur during times of crisis when fundamental rights are compromised. Later, in cases like Hirabayashi v. United States (1943), the Court initially upheld curfews targeting Japanese Americans, reinforcing the Court’s failure to protect constitutional rights. It was only decades later that the decision was formally repudiated, with the government formally apologizing and acknowledging the injustice. The legacy of Korematsu underscores the importance of maintaining constitutional safeguards even in times of national emergency, and it exemplifies the dangers of racial discrimination justified under the guise of security.
