Answer 2

D. some constitutional rights

Step-by-step explanation:

Korematsu v. United States was the landmark case of 1944. After Japan attacked Perl Harbor, United States wanted to relocate all the people of Japanese ancestry, including citizens of the US, and put them to internment camps. Japanese-American Fred Korematsu refused to relocate, saying that the order breaks his right given by Fifth Amendment.

He was arrested and convinced, and the Supreme court affirmed his conviction. It was argued that some of the civil liberties and constitutional rights can be suspended and overruled in times of war.
