Lincoln's Suspension of Habeas Corpus, as Viewed by Congress is a historical book written by George Clarke Sellery. The book focuses on the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus by President Abraham Lincoln during the American Civil War. The writ of habeas corpus is a legal action that requires a person who is detained or imprisoned to be brought before a court or judge. The book explores the political and legal implications of Lincoln's suspension of the writ of habeas corpus, as well as the reactions of Congress to this action. It provides a detailed analysis of the debates and discussions that took place in Congress in response to Lincoln's decision. The author also examines the legal arguments put forth by both Lincoln and his opponents, and provides a historical context for the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus. The book includes primary source documents, such as congressional debates and legal opinions, to support the author's arguments and provide a comprehensive understanding of the issue. Overall, Lincoln's Suspension of Habeas Corpus, as Viewed by Congress is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the American Civil War, constitutional law, and the balance of power between the executive and legislative branches of government.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
