1) did not apply during war time.
During World War II, the government argued that it should be able to waive the Fourteenth Amendment, claiming that the Constitution did not apply during war time.
Explanation;
The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ratified in 1868, granted citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States; including former slaves, and guaranteed all citizens equal protection of the laws.
During World War II, the government temporarily canceled this Fourteenth Amendment, claiming that the Constitution does not apply during war time.
