Question

A. Briefly explain the context in which the described historical events occurred. B. Briefly explain the author’s point of view on civil liberties. C. Briefly explain an example of how an aspect of one of the following conflicts raised similar questions about civil liberties

Answer 1

Answer:

A) Korematsu v. United States was a case during World War 2. Fred Korematsu refused to report to an assembly center. He was convicted in a federal district court for violating the military order. Korematsu appealed his conviction arguing that the exclusion of Japanese Americans constituted a race based classification, that violated the equal protection cost.

B) The author has a strong belief in civil liberties tied to the First Amendment, that every American has the freedom of religion, speech, press, right to assemble and right to petition the government. The author is trying to say that no American should be stripped for their rights.

C) During World War 1 the US passed the Espionage Act of 1917 and Sedition Act of 1918. This law prohibited Americans right to use the First Amendment. The US banned criticism of the war and often led to punishments. During this time some immigrants arrested and denied a hearing, and deported because they looked like they supported the Germans.
