Abraham Lincoln warned that mobocracy, or rule by the mob, leads to chaos and the erosion of Law and Order. He believed it undermines the principles of democracy by allowing the passions of the moment to override justice and reason. Lincoln emphasized that true governance should be based on the rule of law, not the whims of the masses, as mob rule ultimately threatens individual rights and societal stability. In essence, he viewed mobocracy as a path to tyranny rather than freedom.
