Internment and the Constitution

Question 4 • EAP-Virginia and US History B CR

Which two arguments did Fred Korematsu present against internment?

Answer
A
He did not receive due process under the law.
B
He was not a US citizen and therefore was not subject to the law.
C
He was discriminated against for racial reasons.
D
He had been trying to join the military when he was arrested.

Explanation

Korematsu argued that the government had denied him due process by forcing him from his home and placing him under restrictions without a fair hearing. He also argued that the policy discriminated against Japanese Americans because of their race. He was a U.S. citizen, so B is not correct, and joining the military was not one of his arguments.
