In the Supreme Court’s decision in Korematsu v. United States, the court said that Korematsu

Answer
A
was not a spy and deserved equal rights.
B
was not a spy but could not be granted equal rights.
C
was a spy and should be imprisoned immediately.
D
was a spy but was free to go back to Japan.

Explanation

The Supreme Court upheld Korematsu’s conviction for refusing to leave the restricted area during the wartime exclusion order. The case did not establish that he was a spy; the Court accepted the government’s claim that the exclusion was justified by military necessity. So the closest choice is “was not a spy but could not be granted equal rights.”
