		The Court upheld the constitutionality of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1793, maintaining that the slavery clauses of the Constitution were "sacred compromises." The ruling asserted the dictum that judges could not refuse to enforce an immoral law.
		The Court generally upheld President Lincoln's unilateral suspension of habeas corpus, the arrest by the military of anyone suspected of being disloyal, and his imposing of naval blockades in decisions that deferred to Congress and the Executive branches of government during times of war.
		With the outbreak of fighting, the Court took a backseat role in deference to the authority of the federal government principally because the big issues were being settled on the battlefield and not in the courtrooms.
