If you look at the Lincoln memorial as a whole, it is grandiose, almost palatial in it's design and construction. The statue of Lincoln seated in the chair is massive, awe inspiring and classical in it's portrayal of the martyred president. You could not build something so massive and impressive and only have a few steps leading up to it. The steps are long and drawn outward, causing the individual rising up the steps to linger longer and focus on the majesty of the memorial. I think it quite effective.
