Question

what were the primary assumptions behind the signing of executive order 9066? people of japanese heritage, even if born in the united states, might have retained loyalty to japan. only people who were born in japan and then came to the united states were dangerous. japanese americans who were born in the united states were less likely to be dangerous. which quotation is an unwarranted assumption? \the designation of military areas in any region or locality shall supersede designations of prohibited and restricted areas.\ \this order shall not be construed as modifying or limiting in any way the authority heretofore granted under executive order no. 8972.\ \the secretary of war is hereby authorized to provide for residents every possible protection against espionage and against sabotage.\

Explanation:

To determine the unwarranted assumption, we analyze each option:

• The first option (about people of Japanese heritage possibly retaining loyalty to Japan) was a flawed and unwarranted assumption behind Executive Order 9066, as it stereotyped an entire group without basis. The other options are either procedural statements or authorizations related to the order's implementation, not assumptions about the Japanese - American population.

Answer:

The quotation "People of Japanese heritage, even if born in the United States, might have retained loyalty to Japan." is an unwarranted assumption.
