During World War 2, the U.S. government forcibly relocated people of Japanese descent to internment camps, violating Fred Korematsu's civil rights. Korematsu challenged this action in Korematsu v. United States, arguing it violated his 14th Amendment protections. The Supreme Court ultimately ruled 6-3 in favor of the government, agreeing the need to protect against espionage outweighed the civil rights of Japanese Americans. While some supported the ruling out of wartime fears, others were troubled the government could override constitutional protections.

Korematsu vs. United States
Fred Korematsu challenged his conviction of refusing to leave his California home during World War II when Japanese Americans were ordered to internment camps. He argued this violated his constitutional rights. The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in favor of the U.S. government allowing the internment. Korematsu believed no American citizen should be imprisoned without a trial based on their race. The Japanese internment camps during WWII remain a blemish on U.S. history, and this case aimed to prevent similar injustices in the future.
Korematsu v
Korematsu v. United States was a 1944 Supreme Court case that upheld the constitutionality of the Japanese internment camps during World War II. The majority opinion stated that the need to prevent espionage outweighed the individual rights of those interned. However, a later court vacated Korematsu's original conviction because the government submitted false information to the Supreme Court. The dissenting opinion called racial discrimination "utterly revolting" in a democratic society. Though never overturned, Korematsu remains significant for establishing strict scrutiny of racial discrimination by the government.

Japanese Internment & Korematsu v. United States
After the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, the U.S. government issued Executive Order 9066 in 1942 requiring Japanese Americans on the West Coast to be forcibly relocated to internment camps. Fred Korematsu refused to leave his home in California and was convicted for violating the order. His case reached the Supreme Court in 1944, and the Court ruled against him, agreeing that protecting national security took precedence over individual rights during wartime. Over 120,000 Japanese Americans were ultimately interned in camps during World War II.

It discusses the Japanese immigration to the US in the late 19th/early 20th century and the growing anti-Japanese sentiment. After the Pearl Harbor attacks, President Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066 allowing the internment of Japanese Americans. Fred Korematsu challenged his internment and his case reached the Supreme Court in 1944. The Court upheld the internment in a 6-3 decision, though Justice Murphy strongly dissented, calling it an legalization of racism. Korematsu's conviction was later overturned in 1983.
Korematsu and internment
The US government detained over 110,000 Japanese Americans in internment camps during World War II due to fears they may pose a security threat, despite little evidence found of espionage. The Supreme Court upheld this action in Korematsu v. United States, deferring to the government's claim of military necessity. While the US later apologized and provided compensation, some believe similar actions targeting groups could potentially happen again during times of war or crisis.
Japanese Internment
Executive Order 9066 forced 120,000 Japanese-Americans into internment camps during World War II based on claims of military necessity, though two-thirds were American citizens. The Supreme Court upheld the order in Korematsu v. United States, ruling that the government could deny Japanese people their constitutional rights. Some Japanese-Americans resisted the order by volunteering for the military or renouncing their citizenship.
korematsu vs. united states
The case involved Frank Korematsu, a Japanese American man, who was convicted for defying an order to report to an internment camp during World War II. The Supreme Court upheld the exclusion order, ruling that the government's need to protect national security outweighed individual rights. The majority said the exclusion of Japanese Americans was justified by the danger of espionage and sabotage. Three justices dissented, arguing the order was based solely on ancestry and without evidence of disloyalty. The ruling established that the government could exclude and forcibly relocate people based on race during wartime.

False Flag Operations in U.S. History
The document discusses several historical events where it is believed the official government accounts of how wars started may have been misleading or false. It suggests that in some cases, such as the Mexican-American War and the Spanish-American War, the US government may have deliberately provoked conflicts or misled the public about their causes, and questions whether internal explosions, rather than external attacks, caused events like the sinking of the USS Maine that precipitated war. It also discusses the Gulf of Tonkin incident and questions whether the reported attacks on US ships actually occurred. The document speculates there may have been advanced warning of the Pearl Harbor and 9/11 attacks but the information was not shared appropriately.
Civil liberties war examples
1) In 1866, the Supreme Court ruled in Ex parte Milligan that the military trial of Lambdin P. Milligan was unconstitutional since civilian courts were still operating. The ruling established limits on martial law.
2) In 1919, the Supreme Court upheld the Espionage Act conviction of Charles Schenck for distributing leaflets urging draft resistance, establishing the "clear and present danger" test for limiting free speech during wartime.
3) In 1944, the Supreme Court upheld the internment of Japanese Americans in Korematsu v. United States, deferring to claims of military necessity, though the decision was later criticized for failing to adequately protect civil liberties during wartime hysteria.

Crisis of the_1850s_final
The Compromise of 1850 established harsher fugitive slave laws that turned many Northerners against slavery and strengthened the abolitionist movement. Tensions further increased over the Kansas-Nebraska Act and "Bleeding Kansas", the 1856 election of Republican Lincoln, and the Dred Scott decision allowing the expansion of slavery into new territories. By 1860 the nation was polarized, leading Southern states to secede after Lincoln's election but before he took office, forming the Confederate States of America.
Pearl harbor
The Japanese launched a surprise attack on the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii on December 7, 1941. They destroyed numerous American battleships and aircraft, killing over 3,500 Americans. In response, the U.S. entered World War II by declaring war on Japan. The attack on Pearl Harbor fueled American determination to defeat Japan and its allies in the war.
Japanese Internment Power Point
Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 in 1942 following the bombing of Pearl Harbor, which led to the incarceration of approximately 120,000 Japanese Americans in internment camps across California, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, Wyoming, Colorado, and Arkansas. The Japanese Americans were housed in crude barracks without basic amenities and faced poor conditions and limited resources. While officially termed "relocation centers", the internment of Japanese Americans was later determined to be a grave injustice and civil rights violation motivated more by racism than legitimate security concerns.

The US government expanded its centralized power during WWII through martial law, the draft, and hiring major companies for wartime production. It also violated civil liberties by interning Japanese Americans without due process. During the Cold War, the government increased military spending and nuclear weapons development in an arms race with the Soviet Union. It sent troops to desegregate schools in the South to enforce civil rights laws and protect black students, demonstrating further growth of federal authority.
The American Revolution

3) While the Americans lacked experience, weapons, and resources, they had strength in numbers and belief in their cause, though the war brought many challenges and early defeats for their forces.
Dred Scott
Dred Scott was an enslaved man who sued for his freedom after being taken by his owner to free states and territories where slavery was banned. He lost his case in the Supreme Court, which ruled that blacks could not be American citizens and that the Missouri Compromise was unconstitutional. The ruling deepened tensions around slavery and sparked strong reactions from both sides, with Northerners denouncing the decision and Southerners hoping it would help settle the issue.
POTUS as Commander in Chief
The document discusses the President's role as Commander in Chief and the blurring lines between war and peace. It notes that while Congress declares war, the President makes war and runs the military. However, in recent decades Presidents have taken actions like indefinite detention at Guantanamo Bay, drone strikes killing American citizens without declarations of war, raising difficult legal questions about accountability and the limits of the President's authority without Congressional approval.

3rd Amendment
The document summarizes the history and key aspects of the 3rd Amendment. It prohibits the quartering of soldiers in private homes during peacetime without consent and requires legal procedures if done during wartime. The amendment was a response to British actions during the colonial period like the Quartering Acts that forced colonists to house soldiers. While never the subject of a Supreme Court ruling, one case in 1982 found it does apply to states by prohibiting the National Guard from occupying the homes of striking prison guards. The 3rd Amendment is seen as protecting privacy in one's home from government intrusion.

Modern History of Hawaii :World War II:Japanese Internment & the Korematsu Case
1) After the attack on Pearl Harbor, over 110,000 Japanese Americans and their children were forcibly removed from their homes and incarcerated in internment camps, despite no evidence of disloyalty.
2) Fred Korematsu refused the government's order to report to internment camps and was convicted, but his conviction was later overturned when it was revealed the government withheld evidence showing no disloyalty by Japanese Americans.
3) The internment of Japanese Americans during World War II is now recognized as a great injustice and a violation of civil rights, though it was justified at the time as a "military necessity" despite no acts of treason by those incarcerated.
Topic.12 World War II And The United States
The document provides an overview of the Holocaust and Nazi Germany's systematic persecution and murder of Jews and other minority groups during World War II. It details how the Nazis gradually stripped away Jews' rights, confined them to ghettos, and ultimately transported millions of people to concentration and extermination camps where most were killed in gas chambers or by starvation, overwork, or disease. The summary describes the horrific scope and brutality of the Holocaust, in which approximately six million Jewish men, women, and children lost their lives.

Chapter 6 2 09
John Adams was elected President in 1796 as the Federalist candidate, defeating Democratic-Republican Thomas Jefferson. During Adams' presidency, tensions rose with France due to the XYZ Affair, leading Adams to pass the Alien and Sedition Acts to crack down on immigrants and criticism of the government. In 1800, Jefferson defeated Adams in a contested election that ended up in the House of Representatives and established Thomas Jefferson as the third President. Jefferson repealed the Alien and Sedition Acts and reduced the size and spending of the federal government.

This document discusses using Voxopop, a free online tool, to appropriately assess English Language Learners. Voxopop allows teachers to post written and oral questions for students to respond to with voice recordings, allowing ELLs to demonstrate comprehension orally before being assessed in writing. The document notes that oral language is acquired before writing for ELLs and outlines common stages of language development. It proposes that Voxopop can provide a simple way for ELLs to be assessed according to their language abilities in a less time-consuming manner than live oral exams.
Mc culloch v
The state of Maryland imposed taxes on the Baltimore branch of the Second Bank of the United States in 1818, which the cashier James W. McCulloch refused to pay. McCulloch took the case to the Supreme Court, arguing that the Maryland tax was unconstitutional because Congress had established the national bank. The Supreme Court ruled 7-0 in favor of McCulloch, finding that Congress had the power to incorporate the bank and that Maryland could not interfere with the national government's powers through taxation. The decision established Congress's supremacy over the states.
marbury v madison
New justice positions were created before President Adams left office. He appointed justices with a federal ideology, but the appointments were never fully approved by Congress. One appointee, William Marbury, sued after being denied his position. In Marbury v. Madison, the Supreme Court ruled that while Marbury had a right to his appointment, the court could not force its issuance due to limits on its jurisdiction set by the Constitution. This established the Supreme Court's ability to declare acts of Congress unconstitutional.
Gibbons v ogden
The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Ogden, finding that the Commerce Clause gives the federal government exclusive power to regulate interstate commerce such as navigation between states. The case established that any interstate commerce falls under federal jurisdiction rather than state control, setting an important precedent for federalism.
Swann v
The Supreme Court unanimously ruled in Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg County Schools that the federal government could oversee and enforce desegregation of schools, allowing it to establish quotas and consequences for states that did not desegregate, as the Charlotte-Mecklenburg County Schools had failed to desegregate nearly 20 years after the 14th Amendment and Brown v. Board of Ed prohibited segregated schools.
Texas v
Gregory Lee Johnson burned an American flag as a protest against Reagan administration policies. He argued this was protected under the first amendment. The Supreme Court ultimately ruled in 1989 that burning the flag was a form of expression protected by the first amendment and that the government could not criminally punish flag desecration to preserve it as a national symbol. Johnson had originally been sentenced to a year in prison and fined $2,000 for burning the flag.
United states v lopez
The United States v. Lopez case involved a high school student who brought a concealed weapon to school in violation of the Gun Free School Zone Act of 1990. The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that Congress exceeded its powers under the Commerce Clause to enact the law, as possession of a firearm near a school did not qualify as interstate economic activity. This case established limits on Congress's ability to regulate non-economic intrastate activities under the Commerce Clause.
Roe v. Wade
Norma McCorvey (known as "Jane Roe") was pregnant during the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court case about abortion rights. She had claimed to be raped to qualify for an abortion, though this was later found to be false. Henry Wade, a Texas lawyer, argued against abortion rights before the Supreme Court. The Court decided in 1973 that illegal abortion violated a woman's right to privacy under the 14th Amendment and was a fundamental right. This legalized abortion nationwide.
Schench v US
Schenck mailed circulars urging draftees to oppose the draft, claiming it was a monstrosity. He was charged with conspiracy to cause insubordination. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 against Schenck, finding that speech considered free during peacetime can be interpreted differently during war when it could incite violence and harm, as Congress has the power to prevent. The ruling meant Americans could not speak out against the draft in such a manner during wartime.
Holes and Goals
This document outlines resources and lesson plans for teaching economics to social studies students. It includes a proposed low-income monthly budget, a webquest on the causes of the 2008 economic crash, and a timeline linking economics and history. The overall goal is to help students see how the economy impacts their lives by teaching economic concepts in a historical and social context.
Carp Presentation
The document discusses a research study conducted by teachers at Great Mills High School to determine if teaching students how to identify arguments in texts would improve students' argument analysis skills and comfort level. The study was interrupted by a school lockdown and its results were inconclusive. The teachers observed student frustration with the tasks and saw little improvement in pre- and post-test scores. Due to events outside their control, the teachers were unable to determine if students could better dissect arguments after the intervention. They acknowledge more time is needed to properly study the impact of argument identification instruction.
