Under President Johnson’s plan for Reconstruction, how could states be readmitted to the Union?

President Andrew Johnson’s Reconstruction plan allowed former Confederate states to return after establishing new state governments and meeting his loyalty requirements. State conventions were used to create those governments, so C is correct. The 20 percent loyalty requirement belonged to Lincoln’s plan, while ratifying all three Reconstruction amendments was not required under Johnson’s plan.
