Examining Federal Economic Controls During WWII and Their Constitutional Implications

This lesson will delve into the extent to which federal government efforts to control the economy during World War II, particularly concerning alleged subversion, conflicted with the U.S. Constitution. Students will analyze the economic regulations imposed, including the internment of Japanese Americans, price controls, income tax increases, and the mobilization of resources. A focus on civilian life and governmental influence at home during the war will be emphasized, culminating in a 5-paragraph essay due next week.
