Correct answers:
- President Johnson encouraged former Confederate states to reject the Fourteenth Amendment.
- President Johnson fired several military commanders who supported Radical Reconstruction.

Explanation: Radical Republicans opposed Johnson's lenient Reconstruction policies, his efforts to block the Fourteenth Amendment's ratification, and his removal of officials (notably Secretary of War Edwin Stanton) who enforced Radical Reconstruction — the latter action led directly to his impeachment under the Tenure of Office Act. The other options are not accurate causes for the impeachment effort.
