In moments of extreme fear, the pendulum of attitudes swings toward the security end of that spectrum. Abraham Lincoln suspended the right of habeas corpus – the principle that detainees are entitled to challenge their detention in a court of law – during the Civil War, and Franklin Roosevelt interned Japanese-American citizens during the early days of World War II.
在极度恐惧的时刻，态度的钟摆摇向了频谱的“安全”一端。在美国内战期间，林肯暂时中止了 habeas corpus 的权利—被羁押者有权在法庭上挑战被羁押事实的原则。罗斯福在二战初期也拘留了日裔美国公民。
