things like institute an unfair draft, suspend
Constitutional rights, allocate military spending
without Congress, and institute emancipation.

stomped on the Constitution. Lincoln found powers
in the constitutional clause...

Effectiveness Of Abraham Lincoln And His Cabinet

many historians as the greatest president ever to
stand at America's helm. This reputation is
