Question

What was the result of Korematsu v. United States regarding the imprisonment of Japanese Americans during World War II? Do you agree or disagree with their decision?

Answer 1

Answer: Korematsu was eventually overturned.

Explanation:

After the attack on Pearl Harbor, the president used his powers in the country and targeted a large number of American Japanese as a potential threat. Many of these people have been ultimately relocated from their homes to certain locations under strict government supervision. Many ignored these orders from the United States authorities. The Japanese of American descent, Korematsu, was one of those people. After his arrest, he was sentenced to five years probation for violating government orders. The public became interested in his case. The proceedings were reopened, and his sentence's decision was completely changed, Korematsu was not guilty. Defence attorneys defined his conviction as an unconstitutional act by the United States Prosecutor's Office.
