Practice Synthesis Lincoln’s expansion of executive authority was like …

Lincoln’s expansion of executive authority was like Jackson’s expansion of executive authority. Lincoln asserted the power of the presidency when he declared martial law in Maryland because he thought it was in the best interests of the nation to protect Washington, D.C. during the Civil War. Similarly, Jackson expanded federal authority by using the veto. Jackson increased the power of the presidency by being the first president to veto laws he did not like. For instance, Jackson vetoed the Second Bank of the US because he thought it was unconstitutional and favored the rich over the poor. Jackson believed it was in the best interest of America to kill the bank so he did just that. Therefore, both Lincoln and Jackson expanded presidential authority.

President Lincoln: 8/22/1862 “I would save the Union. I would save it the shortest way under the Constitution. The sooner the national authority can be restored; the nearer the Union will be "the Union as it was." If there be those who would not save the Union, unless they could at the same time save slavery, I do not agree with them. If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time destroy slavery, I do not agree with them. My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union…”

President Lincoln “Ours is a case of rebellion – so called by the resolutions before me – in fact, a clear fragrant, and gigantic case of rebellion; and the provision of the Constitution that “the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion, the public safety may require it,” is the provision which specially applies to our present case …”

Chief Justice Roger Taney “The clause in the Constitution, which authorizes the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus, is in the 9th section of the first article. The article is devoted to the legislative branch of the United States, and has not the slightest reference to the executive department.”
