A) briefly explain why ONE of the following best supports the view that Lincoln was one of the most democratic and also one of t
Pani-rosa [81]
1. I choose the Emancipation proclamation.
The basis for a democratic country is the guarantee of human rights for all of its citizens and allowing all citizens the right to participate in the government.
Freeing other humans from slavery indicates his will to truly bring equality for all people int he nations, because he knew that slavery robbed the very essence of human rights from the people together with their dignity.

2. I compared it with Habeas Corpus
Habeas Corpus allow prisoners to report unlawful treatment when they're in their sentence. Indeed this represent Lincoln' willingness to preserve human rights, but the impact is nowhere near the Emancipation of Slavery that affect millions of human beings.

3. I belive Barrack Obama would be a good example.
Despite his blunder in adressing several economic issues in united states, General population believe that Obama always tried his best in perserving human rights and democracy. (could be seen by programs such as HAPA that give the right for children that born in united states by non-citizzens the right to be a legal citizen)
