Question

we cannot reject as unfounded the judgment of the military authorities that there were disloyal members of that population, whose number and strength could not be precisely and quickly ascertained. ... pressing public necessity may sometimes justify the existence of such restrictions; racial antagonism never can.

how did executive order 9066 violate the rights of japanese americans during world war ii?
○ it denied them the right to vote in federal elections.
○ it kept them from serving in the u.s. military.
○ it allowed for the forced removal and imprisonment of japanese americans without a fair trial or due process.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• The first option is incorrect because Japanese Americans' right to vote wasn't denied by Executive Order 9066.
• The second option is incorrect as many Japanese Americans served in the U.S. military (e.g., the 442nd Regimental Combat Team).
• The third option is correct. Executive Order 9066 led to the forced relocation and internment of Japanese Americans. They were removed from their homes and placed in internment camps without a fair trial or due process, violating their constitutional rights (like the right to liberty and protection from unreasonable seizure). The quote also hints at the lack of proper ascertainment of "disloyalty" and the unjust nature of such restrictions, aligning with this violation.

Answer:

C. It allowed for the forced removal and imprisonment of Japanese Americans without a fair trial or due process. (Note: Assuming the options are labeled A, B, C with the third option as C. If the original options had different labels, adjust accordingly. Based on the text, the correct option is the one stating forced removal and imprisonment without fair trial/due process.)
