Question

bell work - january 15 (japanese internment)
the statement below by justice hugo black is from the decision of the u.s. supreme court in korematsu v. united states (1944).
korematsu was not excluded from the military area because of hostility to him or his race. he was excluded because we are at war with the japanese empire, because the . authorities feared an invasion of our west coast and felt constrained to take proper security measures.
based on this excerpt, with which statement would justice black have agreed?
○ individual rights can be restricted if a \clear and present danger\ exists.
○ the supreme court lacks the power to block executive orders made during wartime.
○ individual rights must be maintained at all costs, even in national emergencies.
○ only the supreme court can legally deprive citizens of rights and liberties

Explanation:

El extracto indica que Korematsu fue excluido del área militar debido a la guerra con el Imperio Japonés y la preocupación por la invasión de la Costa Oeste, lo que sugiere que Justice Black creía que los derechos individuales pueden restringirse en presencia de un "peligro claro y presente". La segunda opción es incorrecta porque el Tribunal Supremo sí revisó órdenes de emergencia. La tercera opción contradice el extracto, ya que se restringieron los derechos. La cuarta es incorrecta, ya que otros podrían deprivar de derechos en circunstancias de seguridad.

Answer:

A. Individual rights can be restricted if a "clear and present danger" exists
