The Constitution of the United States states: “We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense , we promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” (Quoted from a transcript of the United States Constitution.) The primary purpose of the United States Constitution is to establish fundamental and equal rights for all citizens of the United States. Belonging to a minority group by culture, religion or race does not declare it unconstitutional. In wartime, evacuating only select minority groups is NOT constitutional; however, the evacuation of ALL US citizens to designated military areas is warranted. In the months immediately following the attack on Pearl Harbor, the minority group of Japanese Americans, who were of the same race as the enemy empire, were given the order, “Civilian Exclusion Order No. 34,” to evacuate their homes on the coast western. In the “Korematsu V. the United States” case, Korematsu fought for his constitutional right as a U.S. citizen. Arrested under the Act of Congress Exclusion Order No. 34; he appealed his case all the way to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court, however, upheld the Circuit Court of Appeals' decision. The Court rightly highlighted key points regarding wartime, which cannot be overlooked; However, the dissenting justices provided compelling support for Korematsu's constitutional rights, the government's disguised purpose of segregating and interning anyone of Japanese-American descent, political mismanagement of Japanese-Americans, and racial discrimination. of paper...of an individual does not guarantee the disloyalty of an entire minority group to which he belongs. The government's actions may have been well intentioned, out of concern for the nation's security; but, by deciding to exclude only Japanese Americans, the government presented the impoverishment of constitutional law, political injustice, and racial discrimination to a minority group, none of which have any place in democracy, the Constitution, and the of life in the United States.
