Abstract:
Abstract: This paper discusses the rights afforded American citizens, particularly minority citizens and alien residents during times of war, national emergency and international crises. Specifically, I address the following questions: what restrictions on civil liberties are necessary to preserve domestic peace? How does a nation at war balance domestic safety with the principles of freedom, justice and democracy? To answer these questions, this paper engages in the pragmatic legal analysis of two cases- one historical, the other contemporary. The first explores the internment of Japanese American citizens following the bombing of Pearl Harbor Naval Base in Hawaii, December 1941, and the United States Supreme Court decisions that resulted from citizen challenges to internment. The second analysis examines the detention of American citizens (and foreign nationals) at the United States Naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba and the Supreme Court cases that have addressed this contemporary example of government sanctioned imprisonment of political dissidents based solely upon executive mandate. By considering these cases together, and subjecting their legacies to pragmatic legal analysis, this paper sheds light on the historical trajectory of civil rights and liberties in times of war and terror.
