Question

PLEASE HELP!!! 6. After years of lobbying by the Japanese American community, the U.S. Congress passed the Civil Liberties Act of 1988 which was signed into law by then President Ronald Reagan. Through this piece of legislation, the U.S. government formally apologized for its actions—for putting over a hundred thousand of its own citizens of Japanese ancestry into internment camps. In addition, the Civil Liberties Act of 1988 authorized a $20,000 payment to be made to every living survivor of the internment camps.

Answer 1

Answer:

Here's what I put

Explanation:

The government issued this apology due to the Korematsu v the united states case which consisted of The Korematsu attorneys arguing that they broke the 14th amendment. Only people of japanese descent were to check into assembly centers. The legislation apologized  and paid $20,000 to each victim in order to compensate. The legislation was thought that the government's actions were a failure of political leadership and was an act of war paranoia and racism.

I don't know if this is the format of how they want it or if I have all the info they want but I hope it helps

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

In dealing with matters relating to the prosecution and progress of a war, we must accord [give] great

respect …to the judgments of the military authorities who are on the scene and who have full

knowledge of the military facts…

At the same time, however, it is essential that there be definite limits to military discretion, especially

where martial law has not been declared. Individuals must not be left impoverished of [without] their

constitutional rights on a plea of military necessity that has neither substance nor support…

…Being an obvious racial discrimination, the order deprives all those within its scope [Japanese

Americans] of the equal protection of the laws as guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment. It further

deprives these individuals of their constitutional rights to live and work where they will, to establish a

home where they choose and to move about freely. …this order also deprives them of all their

constitutional rights to procedural due process. Yet no reasonable relation to an "immediate,

imminent, and impending" public danger is evident to support this racial restriction which is one of

the most sweeping and complete deprivations of constitutional rights in the history of this nation in

the absence of martial law.

… there were some disloyal persons of Japanese descent on the Pacific Coast... Similar disloyal

activities have been engaged in by many persons of German, Italian and even more pioneer stock

[people whose ancestors came long ago] in our country. But [the conclusion] that examples of

individual disloyalty prove group disloyalty ...has been used in support of the abhorrent and

despicable treatment of minority groups by the dictatorial tyrannies which this nation is now pledged

to destroy.
