Lincoln also inforced the fugutive slave law, to which he was opposed. Lincoln was that odd thing, a just, honest man, who, even as president, obeyed the law.

Lincoln unilaterally suspended the writ of habeas corpus, which, according to the Constitution, only Congress may do.

Lincoln overran the state government of Missouri with the army and installed his own dicatorship thus denying them the constitutional guarantee of a republican government.

Lincoln signed the nation's first income tax, which was unconstitutional before the 16th amendment.

Lincoln used his military to seize printing presses and newspapers, imprison political dissidents, confiscate firearms and property from citizens and noncombatants, and many other similar acts thus violating several amendments in the bill of rights.

Lincoln divided the state of Virginia into two and admitted the divided part into the union as a new state without the consent of the old - something that is banned in the Constitution.

...and those are just a few of his many violations of the highest law in the land.

Lincoln signed the nation's first income tax, which was unconstitutional before the 16th amendment.
