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

Answer:

Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo was a peace treaty between Mexico and the United States, signed on February 2, 1848 in the Mexican village of Guadalupe Hidalgo near Mexico City following the results of the Mexican- American War of 1846-1848.

The agreement established that Mexico, which has been defeated by the American military, had to cede up to 1.36 million km² (about 55% of its territory), which included the modern territory of the states of California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, Texas, parts of Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming, Kansas and Oklahoma. In addition, Mexico refused all requirements for Texas, and the international border was established on the Rio Grande River. In compensation, the United States pledged to pay 15 million dollars for damages to Mexican territory during the war. The United States also took on $ 3.25 million of Mexican government debt to US citizens.
