The writings of Transcendentalists had the greatest influence on which of the following movements?

Both your answers are right.
For the first question, the action taken by President Lincoln at the beginning of the Civil War was D) He used his emergency powers to suspend the writ of habeas corpus. Suspending the writ of habeas corpus means that individuals could be detained without trial, which President Lincoln did during the Civil War to suppress dissent and maintain order. This action was controversial and faced legal challenges.
To answer the second question, the writings of Transcendentalists had the greatest influence on the B) Women's movement. Transcendentalist thinkers, such as Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau, emphasized individualism, self-reliance, and advocating for social and political reforms. Their ideas of equality and personal liberation resonated with many women who were fighting for their rights during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The Transcendentalist movement helped shape the broader feminist movement by inspiring women to challenge traditional gender roles and demanding equal rights.
