The January 1863 Emancipation Proclamation by President Lincoln did not violate the Constitution; however, it did not have any Constitutional basis, which generated criticism from both Southerners and (some) Northerners alike. That this criticism was a new adversity to be dealt with by Lincoln and his supporters is undeniable: it did not, however, deter the North from its march toward victory in any ultimately significant way.

What was the proclamation act of 1763's reaction?

The Proclamation Act of 1763, issued by the British government, aimed to stabilize relations with Native Americans by prohibiting colonial settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains. The reaction among colonists was largely negative; many viewed it as an infringement on their rights and aspirations for westward expansion. This dissatisfaction fueled resentment towards British authority and contributed to the growing tensions that eventually led to the American Revolution.
