It is a fairly well known concept that if we don't aggressively protect our citizens from the government, we can very quickly find ourselves in a situation where the constitutional guarantees we have are rolled back and adulterated. It can happen with surprising swiftness, even in a country with a strong tradition of valuing human rights like the US.

I guess it could happen, but even if it did (e.g., the internment of Japanese Americans), they country acknowledges it and fixes the problem within a reasonably short span.

This country did not make amends with the Japanese American community until the 1980s.....30 years after the offenses. You consider 30 years "a reasonably short span"? I wonder how many Japanese Americans who were in camps would agree with you.
