Question

"It should be noted... that all legal restrictions which curtail the civil rights of a single racial group are immediately suspect. That is not to say that all such restrictions are unconstitutional.

Hello. You forgot to enter the answer options. The options are:

"United States v O'Brein, United States v. Eichman, Korematsu v. United States, Abrams et al. v. United States"

Answer:

Korematsu v. United States

Explanation:

The opinion shown above was issued in the Korematsu v. United States.

Korematsu v. United States was a case related to defending the petition that excluded Japanese-American citizens from the military area of ​​the west coast during the Second World War. This occurred after the attack on Pearl Habor organized by American troops, causing a great loss to the USA and leaving the Japanese and descendants as unwanted people and enemies of the USA.

As a result, the government ordered all Japanese and Japanese descendants to leave their homes and move into internment camps (similar to concentration camps), which were places with no structure and resources necessary for the survival of these people. Because of this inhospitable environment Fred Korematsu, a descendant of Japanese, refused to go to the internment camps and claimed that this was a violation of the Fifth Amendment, that is, it was illegal. Thus began the case Korematsu v. United States.
