Taking away the Rights of Japanese Americans
It was the the governments responsibility to let all Americans have their rights. But by putting those people in the Japanese Internment Camps it took away those rights that the government is supposed to protect.
"...President Roosevelt signed an order "Establishing the War Relocation Authority in the Executive Office of the President and Defining its Functions and Duties." Also known as Order 9066, this order started plans of 10 internment camps where more that 110,000 Japanese Americans would be relocated to." (http://library.thinkquest.org/TQ0312008/bhjic.html)

Around 50 years later congress passed a law called the Civil Liberties Act of 1988 it was also called the “Japanese American Redress Bill.” It is a United States federal law that granted the Japanese people who were put into internment camps during World War II their rights back.The Civil Liberties Act of 1988 apologized to the Japanese on behalf of the people of the United States of America. And it was to acknowledge the fundamental injustice of the relocation.
