| | Emancipation Proclamation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | As such, the proclamation was a military order issued by Lincoln in his capacity as Commander-in-Chief, rather than the equivalent of a statute enacted by Congress, or a constitutional amendment. | | | A strict application of the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850 could have required return of fugitive slaves to their masters, but on March 13, 1862, Lincoln forbade all Union army officers from returning fugitive slaves. | | | The Emancipation Proclamation itself had limited immediate effect upon slavery, except as territory in Confederate states came under Union control. |

| | Juvenile Law Center Emancipation in Pennsylvania Fact Sheet |
| | For example, being emancipated for the purpose of public assistance requires criteria that are different than those required of a minor who seeks emancipation in the eyes of the law in general. | | | Emancipation may be necessary in these cases because students under the age of twenty-one are entitled to attend public school, but only in the district in which their parents live. | | | A minor will not go before a judge in court to determine whether she is emancipated for the purpose of public assistance and will not receive a judicial decree that says she is emancipated. |

| | EMANCIPATION AND THE LEGAL RIGHTS OF MINORS |
| | Emancipation is a legal process through which a minor child obtains a court order to end the rights and responsibilities that the child's parent owe to the child such as financial support for the child and decision making authority over the child. | | | Despite the lack of a formal law outlining a right to emancipation, a child can still ask the court in the Probate and Family Court of the county where he or she lives to write an order for emancipation. | | | However, a child may still file for emancipation in the Probate and Family Court of his or her county despite the lack of a formal procedure. |

| | Support of Minors and Emancipation |
| | An emancipated minor is considered to have the rights and responsibilities of an adult, except for those specific constitutional and statutory age requirements regarding voting, use of alcoholic beverages and other health and safety regulations relevant to him or her because of his or her age. | | | The parents of a minor emancipated by court order, however, are not liable for any debts incurred by the minor during the period of emancipation. | | | The procedure for enforcing this duty of support through an action for enforcement brought in the circuit court in the county where the minor resides is outlined in the statute. |

| | This desire also explains his preference for compensated emancipation over the alternatives: treatment of fugitive slaves under federal control as "contrabands of war"; confiscation; and emancipation as part of martial law. | | | The fact that the Prize Cases, which essentially affirmed the legality of the Union's conduct of the war, were decided by a vote of only 5—4 in the midst of the war seems to confirm the wisdom of Lincoln's desire to keep emancipation out of the courts. | | | Lincoln may not have had the power on January 1, 1863, to free every slave in the Confederacy, but he had the authority to do so, and in law the authority is as good as the power. |
