Effect: Korematsu v. United States was a Supreme Court case that was decided on December 18, 1944, at the end of World War II. It involved the legality of Executive Order 9066, which ordered many Japanese-Americans to be placed in internment camps during the war.
About 10 weeks after the U.S. entered World War II, President Franklin D. Roosevelt on February 19, 1942 signed Executive Order 9066. The order authorized the Secretary of War and the armed forces to remove people of Japanese ancestry from what they designated as military areas and surrounding communities in the United States. These areas were legally off limits to Japanese aliens and Japanese-American citizens.
The order set in motion the mass transportation and relocation of more than 120,000 Japanese people to sites the government called detention camps that were set up and occupied in about 14 weeks.

"That it is the right of the subjects to petition the king, and all commitments and prosecutions for such petitioning are illegal."
This quote from the English Bill of Rights would have influenced the American colonists to think that "They could make requests of the king without fear of getting into trouble for it."
Indeed, the English Bill of Rights inspired the founding fathers of the United States in writing the Bill of Rights for the new nation, as was the case of James Madison, the drafter of the US Bill of Rights.
American people during colonial times were angry and desperate for the heavy taxation imposed by the King of England. So they felt they had the right to voice out their opinions and demand better treatment to Great Britain. The colonists had to pay taxes but did not have a voice or representation in the British Parliament. And this issue was a major cause for the beginning of the Revolutionary War of Independence.
