Lincoln abused his power by overstepping the constitutional boundaries. Lincoln did not abuse his power because he was justified in limiting civil liberties to save the Union.

Answer:

According to my interpretation, Lincoln's action to suspend Habeas Corpus in 1863 clearly constitutes an abuse of power. Although this measure can be justified through the clear situation of danger represented by the Civil War, the truth is that the President suspended a constitutional guarantee and a right of all citizens without having the authority to do so, thereby taking that measure constituted an abuse of his power and political position, as determined by the Constitution.

What restrictions did the Coercive Acts place on the Massachusetts colonists after the Boston Tea Party?

viktelen [127]

Answer:

D. They closed the Boston Harbor and limited (but did not withdraw) the colony's right to govern itself

Explanation:

On May 10, 1773, the British Parliament passed the Tea Act. This act allowed British companies to ship tea to the colonies without duties, but the colonists still had to pay a tax on tea.

They were outraged at this display of "taxation without representation", so they tried to boycott the tea and force the ships to return to Britain. This didn't work, so they moved onto their next plan: The Boston Tea Party. On December 10, 1773, a group known as the Sons of Liberty disguised themselves and boarded the ship. They threw thousands of pounds of British tea into the Boston Harbor.

The British found out and they were angry and shocked. They realized the colonies were out of control, so they passed the Coercive/Intolerable Acts. These:

Closed the Boston Harbor
Placed the colony under direct British control
Prevented trials of British officials from occurring in the colonies
Required British soldiers to be quartered at the colonists' expense

The correct answer is D. They closed the Boston Harbor and limited (but did not withdraw) the colony's right to govern itself. The colony had some power, but it was extremely limited.

Slender and scrawny. "Slender" connotes grace and desirability, while "scrawny" connotes weakness and unhealthiness. ("Thin" is sort of in the middle as it could be either just "having little flesh" to "having too little flesh".)
