Decent Essays
Should National security override a person's right to liberty? In my opinion I think honestly it should because of many reasons and conflicts that we have had in the past. The National security jus wants to help keep the people protected and make sure they are well taken care of. If it wasn’t for this we would have had many more wars and more conflicts associated with the Japanese people. Everyone has equal rights so why should the Japanese be free for their wrongdoings.

The Executive Order 9066 was very good solution to help stop having wars with the Japanese. They made this enforcement to stop what had happened at pearl harbor in December 7,1941. The people had not expected this to happen. Thousands of people had died that day so the people

    During WWII President Roosevelt ordered Executive Order 9066 which called for the internment of Japanese Americans citizens in the west coast. This decision caused much controversy because the internment was completely based on the race of the citizens and the people who were interned were subjected to poor conditions. I believe that the reason for the internment was not valid and was a violation of human rights. When the Japanese Americans were interned they lost their businesses and homes. Many sold everything they owned fearing that they would never be able to return.…

Consequently, the bombing of Pearl Harbor led to outright hatred of the Japanese Americans with citizens calling for their evacuation. By the beginning of 1942 Anti-Japanese paranoia had spread all over the United States gaining support from a majority of its citizens.…

The phone will wipe all memory if the passcode is entered more than 10 times. The government wants Apple to create a system to get rid of this feature as explained by Tim Cook, CEO of Apple: “The government would have us remove security features and add new capabilities to the operating system, allowing a passcode to be input electronically.

It was done as a precaution, because it allowed Americans to have a sense of security and nearly everyone had suspicions towards Japanese-Americans.
