Answer:

Private citizens have a duty to help the poor as long as they can, in the form of charity. In fact, the United States is the most charitable country in the world, with American citizens collectively giving 2% of annual U.S. GDP to charity.

However, when private charity is not enough to cover the basic needs of those in most need, the government has the duty to step in and use the power that it has to redistribute some of the wealth of society, in order to fund social programs that allow the poorest and the least fortunate to survive, and to lead a life with basic dignity and liberty.

The order authorized the Secretary of War and the armed forces to remove people of Japanese ancestry from what they designated as military areas and surrounding communities in the United States. These areas were legally off limits to Japanese aliens and Japanese-American citizens.

The order set in motion the mass transportation and relocation of more than 120,000 Japanese people to sites the government called detention camps that were set up and occupied in about 14 weeks. Most of the people who were relocated lived on the West Coast and two-thirds were American citizens. In accordance with the order, the military transported them to some 26 sites in seven western states, including remote locations in Washington, Idaho, Utah, and Arizona.
