Korematsu argued that Executive Order 9066, signed by Franklin D. Roosevelt, violated the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment. However, the court ruled in favor of the US government, many of the judges felt that the risk of espionage outweighed the protection of civil liberties.

the committees of correspondence were the american colonies’ means for maintaining communication lines in the years before the revolutionary war. in 1764, boston formed the earliest committee of correspondence to encourage opposition to britain’s stiffening of customs enforcement and prohibition of american paper money. the following year, new york formed a similar committee to keep the other colonies notified of its actions in resisting the stamp act. in 1773, the virginia house of burgesses proposed that each colonial legislature appoint a committee for intercolonial correspondence. the exchanges that followed built solidarity during the turbulent times and bring about the formation of the first continental congress in 1774.
