Which statement is most clearly supported by these actions of President Lincoln?


1) Wartime emergencies led President Lincoln to expand his presidential powers.

2) President Lincoln was impeached for violating the Constitution.

3) Checks and balances effectively limited President Lincoln's actions.

4) President Lincoln wanted to abolish the Bill of Rights.

Respuesta :

President Lincoln's actions are supported by the fact that war emergencies prompted President Lincoln to expand his presidential powers, as shown in option 1.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • During the civil war, President Lincoln had to make decisions to protect the union, ensure citizen security, and maintain his political power.
  • This made him free to make decisions that were not allowed by the president.
  • These decisions should be voted on by the other branches of political power, but this takes a lot of time and the advance of the war makes the situation an emergency.

As such, Lincoln expanded presidential powers, increasing the size of the army, promoting arrests, and censoring anti-union media stances.
