During the world war two the united states government interned Japanese Americans in camps, citing security concerns. This was a

curtailment of American citizens' individual rights. Do you think such actions are ever justified by a democratic government? Why or why not?

I do not think actions like this can be justified. The internment of Japanese-American citizens was one of the biggest mistakes made by the federal government in the 20th century.

Executive Order 9066 called for the internment of Japanese-American citizens shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese empire. Even though this attack came from Japan, it is wrong to assume that all Japanese-American citizens supported the action. Roughly 2/3rd of the people who were put in internment camps were born in the United States and were citizens. Violating the rights of citizens who have done nothing wrong is never good to do.

A democratic government is supposed to protect individual liberties and rights, not violate them on purpose.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain una
zlopas [31]

These two are correct:

  • All men have natural rights.
  • The purpose of government is to protect natural rights.

Explanation:

The Scientific Revolution had shown that there are natural laws in place in the physical world and in the universe at large.  Applying similar principles to matters like government and society, Enlightenment thinkers believed that using reason will guide us to the best ways to operate politically so we can create the most beneficial conditions for society.  John Locke and other Enlightenment era thinkers wrote with strong conviction that all human beings have certain natural rights which are to be protected and preserved.  Each individual's well-being (life, health, liberty, possessions) should be served by the way government and society are arranged.

The Declaration of Independence states these Enlightenment views on natural rights in this way:  

  • <em>We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.</em>

The Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen opens with this assertion:

  • <em>The representatives of the French people, organized as a National Assembly, believing that the ignorance, neglect, or contempt of the rights of man are the sole cause of public calamities and of the corruption of governments, have determined to set forth in a solemn declaration the natural, unalienable, and sacred rights of man, in order that this declaration, being constantly before all the members of the Social body, shall remind them continually of their rights and duties.</em>
