What BEST explains President Lincoln's purpose in using emergency powers to suspend the right of habeas corpus?

History
1 answer:
zmey [24]4 years ago

Answer:

D He wished to silence any opposition to the Civil War in the North by imprisoning the opponents.​

Explanation:

Given that Habeas corpus is related to the right of individuals against unlawful detention or imprisonment. Then it can be concluded that the best explanation of President Lincoln's purpose in using emergency powers to suspend the right of habeas corpus is that "He wished to silence any opposition to the Civil War in the North by imprisoning the opponents.​"

This is evident in the fact that at the time of the American civil war, Washington, D.C., was around slave territories thereby having more Confederates sympathizers. These Confederates sympathizers were in the habit of frustrating the plans the Union military actions and discouraging the enlistment into the Union army.

Hence, to curb this, Abraham Lincoln, used emergency powers to suspend the right of habeas corpus, which means, the military authorities could detain any opposition to the Civil War in the North by imprisoning the opponents without due or legal process.

Which explanation displays best why they were called “Hoovervilles”
zloy xaker [14]

The correct answer is many people believed Hoover did not do enough to improve the economy during the Great Depression.


During the Great Depression, Hoover was convinced that the American economy would fix itself. This was due to Hoover's belief in laissez faire economics. Hoover believed that the economy worked best when the government was not involved.


With these beliefs in mind, he took very few concrete steps towards trying to solve this crisis. As people continued to struggle and lose their homes, they built shanty towns out of whatever they could find. These towns became known as Hoovervilles as a way to place blame for America's tough economic times.
