Question

In the Supreme Court case Korematsu v. United States, the court decided that the Fourteenth Amendment
did not apply to Korematsu because he was Japanese.
could be waived in a time of emergency such as war.
was null and void until after the end of the war.
protected Korematsu from military obligations.

Answer 1

"Could be waived in a time of emergency such as war."

The Court in Korematsu v. United States (1944) upheld the internment orders, ruling that the government's need to protect against espionage and sabotage in wartime could justify limiting the Fourteenth Amendment's protections. The decision has since been widely criticized and was effectively repudiated by later rulings and commentary (e.g., Trump v. Hawaii, 2018).
