Why did Abraham Lincoln have the right to pass the emancipation proclamation?
Because he was the President of the United States. In the 1800's, it was much easier for a President to pass a proclamation because there were no lobbyists, there were fewer states, so there were not as many Congressmen or Senators to object to any proposed laws or proclamations. Also the Emancipation was issued during the civil war, the war granted Lincoln emergency powers and through these powers he was able to issue the proclamation. The proclamation would have no authority after the war, only a constitutional change would maintain the proclamation, subsequently it was written into the constitution.

Was the North morally obligated to fight the war to end slavery?
No. The issue at the beginning was not slavery itself. It was the proposed extension of slavery and the cotton trade, and the prospect of the South growing rich enough to form a separate nation, taking the cotton revenues with them. It was only after Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation that the institution of slavery became the target. But even that did not turn most Northerners into Abolitionists. They just wanted to win the war.
