Assessing Patriot in Terms of Korematsu v. United States
Number of pages:

ABSTRACT:
A 4 page paper assessing the Patriot Act in terms of the 1944 case Korematsu v. United States in which the Supreme Court upheld the relocation of Japanese-Americans during World War II. Though the provisions of Patriot and the conditions of Executive Order 9066 share many similarities, there is far less similarity in the perspective of 1944 and perspective today. Considered within the framework of the 1944 vantage, Patriot likely would be upheld by the Court. Considered in 2006 perspective, it is possible that the Court would find the custody provisions of Patriot to be unconstitutional. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
