Lincoln simply enforced trashed the Constitution.

Fixed.

His new Constitutional amendments simply corrected some of the wickedness which led to the slave-holders' rebellion.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

9th Amendment - The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

10the Amendment - The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

The disHonest Abe/yankee version of ‘consent of the governed’ is that we consent and they govern. brojoke is a dyed in the wool big government statist that worships lincoln. He’s done more than drank the Kool Aid; he’s doing the backstroke in it.
