In 1924 the U.S. Congress passed legislation severely limiting immigration from Europe, and cutting off almost all immigration f

rom Asia. Two years earlier the Supreme Court had ruled that Asians were ineligible for U.S. citizenship. The Japanese viewed such measures as deliberate insults, and responded by organizing boycotts of American products. The following editorial appeared in the April 29, 1924 issue of the Japan Times and Mail.
The fact remains that the Senate has passed, with an overwhelming majority, an amendment which they know is a most humiliating one to the Japanese race, and the event cuts the Japanese minds deep, a wound that will hurt and rankle for generations and generations....
...[T]he Senate has been most unfortunate in the choice of time for taking its action. While professing to be jubilant over the increased prospects of permanency of peace in consequence of the Washington Conference, all Japanese have ever since felt in the secret recesses of their heart that their country has been considerably weakened in its naval strength. To add to this there came that great devastating earthquake of last year [1923, when a massive earthquake destroyed a large section of Tokyo], with its far reaching effect in all directions, seen especially in the ever-increasing balance of the country’s trade on the wrong side. It has been said openly more than once in different quarters abroad that Japan is as good as crushed to a naval and economic helplessness, from which there will be no recovering for a generation or two. Mark, then, it is at such a time that the Senate of the United States has said practically this: “We deliberately offer you this insult, knowing that you can do no more than make a wry face.”
This is extremely unfortunate. For a friendly turn in the hour of need will be remembered permanently, but an unfriendly act that takes advantage of one’s helpless condition makes nothing of all the past and darkens the long future....

Dmitrij [34]

The constitution of the United States set up a set of checks and balances among the three branches of government. The Legislative, Executive and Judicial powers constitute the structure of the american government, and they have power to check each other's way of work.

One example of the check and balance system is that the Supreme court of the United States may check congress by declaring a law passed by this one as unconstitutional. This is a clear check limit used against the legislative power, that is the congress. But on the other hand, the power is balanced because the members of the Supreme Court are appointed by the President of the country (the Executive power), and to be appointed they have to be approved by the Congress.
