During World War II, the government argued that it should be able to waive the Fourteenth Amendment, claiming that the Constitution <em>did not apply during wartime. </em>

Back in the WWII, the 14th amendment was temporarily suppressed, thus disactivating its protection, back up by the claim that the Constitution did not apply.

An example of how personal liberty restrained was imposed, was the detention and relocation of the Japanese residents of the Western states, including those who were native-born citizens of the US.
