The correct answer is C. The Constitution allows the supension of the right to habeas corpus in the case of public safety being threated. Abraham Lincoln decided to suspend it because in Maryland, important strategic route to Washington, there was a great number of organized and violent people who opposed the Union. He couldn'd trust totally in the Maryland legislature either.
