[DiogenesLamp]

Fact is, the Republic under the federal Constitution that replaced that under the Articles of Confederation CEASED in FDR’s time.

Abraham Lincoln.

[Rurudyne]

Lincoln’s lawlessness, such as it was, did not long survive him, which is a huge difference. Nor did he advance true Arbitrary government as the progressives most certainly have done. The Republic still operated on the basis of the actual Constitution after Lincoln.

Lincoln’s misdeeds, though sometimes serious, simply do not compare to FDR’s.
