Answer 1

The correct response is:

Republicans disagreed with President Johnson's Reconstruction Plan.

After Lincoln's assassination, President Andrew Johnson's approach to Reconstruction was seen as too lenient toward the South, which led to significant conflict with the Republican-controlled Congress. Many Republicans felt that Johnson's plan did not adequately protect the rights of formerly enslaved people and allowed former Confederates to regain power, leading to a clash between the Executive and Legislative branches.
