What type of administrative problems were encountered by the Union draft laws?
Perhaps the July 1863 draft riots have overshadowed the other problems the Union had with the administration of the 1863 draft laws. Here are some examples that are not relevant to New York City. 1. The persons assigned to the administrative duties of the Union's draft had a very difficult time and were highly unpopular with the ordinary citizen; 2. It became common knowledge that they suffered from physical abuse by Northerners; 3. Jobs became difficult to staff and this resulted in retaining administrators who should have been fired for incompetence; 4. Northern newspapers covered the many "gaffs" associated with the draft, including the mistaken drafting of women, blind men and elderly men crippled and living in hospitals; 5. Draft officials faced a dangerous job. By the war's end 38 of them had been murdered by angry citizens , 60 were wounded and others had their property stolen; 6. Every state in the Union witnessed public displays of noncompliance. Those who advocated openly noncompliance had their writ of habeas corpus suspended by Lincoln and they were jailed; 7. As with Vietnam, many citizens in the 1860's fled to Canada to avoid the draft; and 8. During the first 12 months of the draft the US Treasury gained $15 million by those buying their way out. In the first draft, the 292,000 selected by lottery, only 9,800 actually served.

How did Abraham Lincoln overstep his constitutional authority before and during the war between the states?
There certainly were cases where Lincoln suspended the Constitution. That was deemed necessary and to a maximum situation in places like Maryland. The problem was he could not supervise the situations where say habeas corpus was suspended. That left local officials with the power to abuse the rights of their fellow Americans. It's a shame that Lincoln had to overstep his authority, but it speaks to the idea that war, any war will have its opponents. And not all the Northern opponents were pro-slavery. Many were against the war, which is why George B. McClellan and the Democrats thought they had a chance to unseat Lincoln in 1864 and handle the war differently. No plan for that was in place however.
