Answer:
A) Korematsu v. United States was a case during World War 2. Fred Korematsu refused to report to an assembly center. He was convicted in a federal district court for violating the military order. Korematsu appealed his conviction arguing that the exclusion of Japanese Americans constituted a race based classification, that violated the equal protection cost.
B) The author has a strong belief in civil liberties tied to the First Amendment, that every American has the freedom of religion, speech, press, right to assemble and right to petition the government. The author is trying to say that no American should be stripped for their rights.
C) During World War 1 the US passed the Espionage Act of 1917 and Sedition Act of 1918. This law prohibited Americans right to use the First Amendment. The US banned criticism of the war and often led to punishments. During this time some immigrants arrested and denied a hearing, and deported because they looked like they supported the Germans.

Explanation:
Thomas Jefferson is considered the primary author of the Declaration of Independence, although Jefferson's draft went through a process of revision by his fellow committee members and the Second Continental Congress.
How the Declaration Came About

America's declaration of independence from the British Empire was the nation's founding moment. But it was not inevitable. Until the spring of 1776, most colonists believed that the British Empire offered its citizens freedom and provided them protection and opportunity. The mother country purchased colonists' goods, defended them from Native American Indian and European aggressors, and extended British rights and liberty to colonists. In return, colonists traded primarily with Britain, obeyed British laws and customs, and pledged their loyalty to the British crown. For most of the eighteenth century, the relationship between Britain and her American colonies was mutually beneficial. Even as late as June 1775, Thomas Jefferson said that he would "rather be in dependence on Great Britain, properly limited, than on any nation upon earth, or than on no nation."[1]
But this favorable relationship began to face serious challenges in the wake of the Seven Years' War. In that conflict with France, Britain incurred an enormous debt and looked to its American colonies to help pay for the war. Between 1756 and 1776, Parliament issued a series of taxes on the colonies, including the Stamp Act of 1765, the Townshend Duties of 1766, and the Tea Act of 1773. Even when the taxes were relatively light, they met with stiff colonial resistance on principle, with colonists concerned that “taxation without representation” was tyranny and political control of the colonies was increasingly being exercised from London. Colonists felt that they were being treated as second-class citizens. But after initially compromising on the Stamp Act, Parliament supported increasingly oppressive measures to force colonists to obey the new laws. Eventually, tensions culminated in the shots fired between British troops and colonial militia at Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775.
