This was an important case because it helped stop racial discrimination and the pointless imprisonment of people based on their ancestry.

There was not a huge economic impact by the case between Korematsu and the United States other than it costs a lot of money to run the concentration camps and to keep all of the Japanese American people imprisoned. This was a lot of money that the government could have saved by not pointlessly spending it on imprisoning innocent Japanese Americans.

This greatly affected the social aspect of America in 1942. People of Japanese American decent were treated differently than everyone else in the nation because the United States was at war with Japan. The thousands of Japanese Americans that were citizens of America were taken out of their homes and away from their families because they were decedents of Japanese people. This causes a lot of racial tension in the community. This case led to the Civil Liberties Act of 1988 which, "granted reparations to Japanese Americans who were incarcerated during World War II" (Imai). This shows that eventually the government finally realized that the Japanese American community was impacted by the racial discrimination during World War two; however, there was a large period of time where the Japanese Americans were still discriminated against.

This affects the political standpoint of the United States because the government cannot regulate the people in America if they believe that their race poses a threat to the society. In the case it states, "convict a citizen...for not submitting to imprisonment in a concentration camp, based on ancestry, and solely because of his ancestry, without evidence or inquiry concerning his loyalty and good disposition towards the United States" (Imai). This quote is saying how because of this case it is now unlawful to imprison an individual because of their ancestry and race. There needs to be proof that they are trying to hurt the United States in anyway.
