Explanation:

Claim -

Executive Order 9066 affected Japanese Americans by forcing their evacuation and detention, and it violated their constitutional rights by targeting them based on ancestry (racial profiling) and depriving them of due process.

Evidence - An example from the text is...

On March 29, 1942, DeWitt issued Public Proclamation No. 4, which began the forced evacuation and detention of West Coast residents of Japanese - American ancestry on a 48 - hour notice. Also, Lieutenant General John L. DeWitt announced curfews that included only Japanese Americans and encouraged their voluntary evacuation from some areas before the forced evacuation.

Reasoning -

The forced evacuation and detention (as seen in Public Proclamation No. 4) disrupted the lives of Japanese Americans, taking away their homes, businesses, and normal way of life. Constitutionally, the Fifth Amendment guarantees due process, and targeting a group based on their Japanese - American ancestry (without individual suspicion of wrongdoing) violated this right. The curfews and evacuation orders that singled out Japanese Americans based on their race/ancestry also violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, as they were not treated equally under the law compared to other citizens.
