In Lincoln's Constitution Daniel Farber leads the reader to understand
exactly how Abraham Lincoln faced the inevitable constitutional issues
brought on by the Civil War. Examining what arguments Lincoln made in
defense of his actions and how his words and deeds fit into the
context of the times, Farber illuminates Lincoln's actions by placing
them squarely within their historical moment. The answers here are
crucial not only for a better understanding of the Civil War but also
for shedding light on issues-state sovereignty, presidential power,
and limitations on civil liberties in the name of national
security-that continue to test the limits of constitutional law even
today.
