In the Supreme Court case Korematsu v. United States, the judicial majority voted to uphold the order for Japanese American internment during World War II. In the minority, Judge Robert A. Jackson wrote a dissenting opinion warning against government-sponsored racism called “From Justice Robert A. Jackson, Dissent,” included in your textbook.Match Jackson’s main points to the quotation they describe.Drag each item on the left to its matching item on the right.Military decisions, such as Korematsu, are declared by the federal government, not the Supreme Court.A person should not be assumed guilty based on their heritage or the transgressions of their ancestors.By upholding this decision, future courts and legislators may distort the ruling to apply to other citizens based on race or ethnicity.“A military order, however unconstitutional, is not apt to last longer than the military emergency. Even during that period, a succeeding commander may revoke it all. But once a judicial opinion rationalizes such an order to show that it conforms to the Constitution, or rather rationalizes the Constitution to show that the Constitution sanctions such an order, the Court for all time has validated the principle of racial discrimination in criminal procedure and of transplanting American citizens.”“In the very nature of things, military decisions are not susceptible of intelligent judicial appraisal… Courts can never have any real alternative to accepting the mere declaration of the authority that issued the order that it was reasonably necessary from a military viewpoint.”“Now, if any fundamental assumption underlies our system, it is that guilt is personal and not inheritable. Even if all of one’s antecedents had been convicted of treason, the Constitution forbids its penalties to be visited upon him. . . . But here is an attempt to make an otherwise innocent act a crime merely because this prisoner is the son of parents as to whom he had no choice, and belongs to a race from which there is no way to resign. . . .”
