Is there some source that lists the measures that American presidents took during war time that limited Constitutional, or just regular, freedoms?

It would be interesting to compare how far Zelenskyy has gone in the dictator direction compared to Lincoln, Wilson, FDR, and LBJ.

I realize that American soil was seldom under direct threat so the measures taken would not have needed to be as strict as those for a country whose very existence is in doubt, but Zelenskyy seems to be going far further in the authoritarian/totalitarian direction than he needs to.

He's locked down the Big Three; religion, opposition politics and the media.
