C. He suspended the writ of habeas corpus.

During the Civil War Lincoln authorized suspension of habeas corpus in certain areas to detain suspected Confederate sympathizers and maintain public order (famously challenged in Ex parte Merryman; Congress later approved suspension with the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act of 1863).
