Answer 1

Answer:

A.was not a spy and deserved equal rights.

Explanation:

• On October September 8, 1942, Korematsu was tried in the federal court of San Francisco and was charged for violation of military orders issued under Executive Order 9066.

• However, his case was reopened and his conviction was overturned on November 10, 1983 by the Supreme Court stating that he was not a spy and deserved equal rights under Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
• The Supreme Court acknowledged that Korematsu was a legal and proud citizen of the country and that he has been convicted wrongfully.
