Key terms in this module

14th Amendment Where it’s used

  [ for-teenth uh-mend-muhnt ]

Those born in the U.S. are naturalized U.S. citizens and have the right to life, liberty, and property with equal protection of the laws. This amendment is especially significant in showing how Japanese Americans’ constitutional rights were violated.

Alien Land Law of 1913 Where it’s used

   [ ay-lee-uhn land law uhv nine-teen-thr-teen ]

California passed the first law that prohibited Americans of Japanese descent from owning or leasing land. From this point on until 1923, many states (Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Louisiana, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming) across the U.S. passed similar laws or restrictions within other laws.

Civil Liberties Act of 1988 Where it’s used

   [ si-vl li-br-teez akt uhv nine-teen-ay-tee-ayt ]

This federal law was formed as a result of the many activist efforts of Japanese American groups. All surviving American citizens and legal resident immigrants of Japanese ancestry who were incarcerated during WWII were given $20,000 and a formal presidential apology.

democracy Where it’s used

   [ duh-maa-kruh-see ]

A way of governing by all people of a nation or state. The people have a voice in deciding laws or electing officials to create laws for them. Democracy is a fundamental principle of the U.S. government, influenced by the Iroquois indigenous peoples in what is now known as New York, and European philosophers.

Executive Order 9066 Where it’s used

   [ uhg-zeh-kyuh-tuhv or-dr nine-o-siks-siks ]

On February 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt gave the U.S. military the power to exclude anyone they saw as a military threat into special military areas. Although Americans of Japanese descent were not specifically mentioned, this led to them to be mass incarcerated.

Immigration Act of 1924 Where it’s used

   [ i-muh-gray-shn akt uhv nine-teen-twen-tee-for ]

Federal law denying any Asian person to immigrate to the U.S.

Ozawa v. U.S. (1922) Where it’s used

   [ ozawa vur-suhz yoo-nai-tuhd stayts ]
