Question

Which wartime action violated the Constitution in the name of protecting the United States from perceived threats?

Answer 1

The correct answer is C) Japanese Americans were sent to internment camps.

The wartime action that violated the Constitution in the name of protecting the United States from perceived threats was “Japanese Americans were sent to internment camps.” This action taken by the United States government during WWII violated the constitutional rights of some citizens because it detained Japanese citizens and were taken to camps.

In February 1942, Executive Order 9066 allowed the government of the U.S. the detention and incarceration of Japanese-Americans living on the West Coast of the country. They were taken out from their homes, to be sent to camps located in different parts of the country.
