How did the US justify interning Japanese-Americans during World War 2?
Badly. Some of the military leaders in California were .... OK, racists, and decided that Japanese might be disloyal. After all, they might send signals to Japanese airplanes or saboteurs, right? So, many Japanese, and Americans of Japanese ancestry, were interned in rather unpleasant conditions away from the coast for the duration of the war. It's astonishing, therefore, that when the Army asked for Japanese to volunteer for service, that so many did, and served so heroically. The 442nd Regiment, composed almost entirely of Japanese-Americans, fought in Europe and were the most highly decorated unit in American history. As an interesting side-note, Japanese in Hawaii were not interned, even though Hawaii was far more densely populated with Japanese, and there were virtually no acts of sabotage or espionage among Japanese or Japanese-Americans.
Did Executive Order 9066 infringe on the rights of Japanese living in the US as guaranteed by the Constitution?
The order violated virtually all of the rights that as citizens of the United States are supposed to be guaranteed by the United States Constitution. Japanese-Americans were denied due process and the guarantee of â??life, liberty or propertyâ?? contained in the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States. Executive Order 9066 called for taking Japanese-Americans from their homes and rehousing them to live in internment camps under curfew, with public property restrictions solely based on their ethnic background. The Supreme Court decided that the Constitution can be set aside on some occasions when practicality is needed, such as in times of war, and upheld the order. With that said, the US Supreme Court ruled in favor of Franklin D. Roosevelt's executive order. It remains unclear how the Court might decide such an issue in the 21st century.
What was the most serious scandal in the history of the US Government?
