Internment and the Constitution

Question 1 • EAP-Virginia and US History B CR

What conclusion can you make about German and Italian Americans who were interned?

Answer
A
The majority openly supported the Axis powers.
B
Many were interned based on poorly supported accusations.
C
They were given the opportunity to refute accusations against them.
D
Naturalized German and Italian Americans refused to be interned.

Explanation

Many German and Italian Americans were interned during World War II on suspicion of being enemy sympathizers, often without strong evidence or a fair chance to challenge the accusations. This supports the conclusion that many were interned based on poorly supported accusations. The question does not establish that most openly supported the Axis powers or that they could refute the claims.
