Answer:

It destroyed the lives and reputations of thousands of Japanese Americans.

Explanation:

The War Powers Act of 1941 was basically a way which gave FDR more power to efficiently and effectively handle the war following the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Not only did it give him the authority to take control of the government as a whole in part, but it gave other organizations the permission to intercept and analyze every letter or communication going out internationally or coming from international sources.

When you think of it for a minute, there have been several times since then, that issues like this have resurfaced. Other than during WWII, entering the cold War Era with the soviets we saw the rise of McCarthyism and the spying on thousands of US citizens.

Again following 9/11 in 2001, the Patriot Act was signed into law and coupled with a faulted FISA court, agencies such as DHS, NSA, FBI, and CIA gained the authority to spy on anyone and everyone that could be perceived as a potential threat, or even people connected to others who could be a potential threat.

There is a common thread here at all of these times in US history, several threads actually.

one, programs and acts like the act of 1941 always happene during times of conflict.

two, the goverment always utilizes fear to justify obtaining more power to keep the citizens "safe".

three, the citizens have always been divided during those times at well making it easier for the government to control the people.

As far as balance is concerned, it takes people who are willing to risk everything to warn the American people of what is going on behind the curtain so to speak. similar to Edward Snowden.

A nation divided cannot stand. -Abraham Lincoln
