Which group thought the colonists were adequately represented in Parliament?

Tories

Explanation:

In the decade before the US War of Independence, we can say that society was divided between two political currents: the Patriots or Whigs, in favor of emancipation, even through war, and the Legalists or Tories, faithful to the King of England, opposed to the idea of independence. The Patriots or Ehigs believed that the settlers were not being well represented by the English Parliament, whereas the Torries believed that the settlers were well represented by the English Parliament.

1. The key military concern referenced by the Court was that "properly constituted military authorities feared an invasion of our West Coast." The military authorities feared that Japanese Americans would give information to the Japanese or might themselves engage in attacks against US military installations.

2. I do not agree with the majority opinion that racial prejudice did not play a role in the US government's treatment of Japanese Americans. There was definitely prejudice, which means pre-judging or judging in advance. The authorities were able to force any and all persons of Japanese ancestry into internment camps, without presenting any evidence that they as individuals had, in fact, done anything to warrant such action against them. It had been generic, stereotyped suspicion of anyone of Japanese heritage that prompted the government to restrict the civil liberties of Japanese Americans. President Roosevelt's Executive Order 9066 (February 1942), which allowed the Secretary of War to designate certain areas as military zones, set the stage for the mass relocation of Japanese-ancestry persons to internment camps. By June of 1942, over 100,000 Japanese Americans were sent to such internment camps. That was a rush to judgement against thousands of persons without due process of law, to which they were entitled under the US Constitution.
