The correct answer is B) The states in the South had to ratify the Thirteenth Amendment.
<em>Part of President Andrew Johnson’s reconstruction plan was that the states in the South had to ratify the Thirteenth Amendment.
</em>
<em>The plan of Andrew Johnson for the Reconstruction of t</em>he United States included the readmission of the Southern States once they had rewritten their state constitution. They also had to form their state governments, pay war debts and ratified the 13th Amendment. The 13th amendment abolished slavery, but President Johnson did not give former slaves the right to vote.
After thousands of years of civilization, people realized that the notion of social classes was wrong. The reign of incompetent rulers now and then demonstrated that people in the lower and upper classes could behave pretty much the same. Also, the nobility, supposed to hold the responsibility of political power in exchange of protecting the commoners was nearly always neglected as to justify the nobles' privileges and superior social position. The short-lived Athenian democracy revolved in the minds of countless people throughout the years and inspired the modern democracies of today via the works of the Enlightenment free-thinkers who rejected the traditional hierarchical differences between individuals and advocated for a government of citizens that would serve society, not themselves. As the dissatisfaction of the colonists of the Thirteen British Colonies in America with the despotic impositions of the British government grew, a clear idea of a government serving the will of the people emerged, and that thought was best expressed by Lincoln's statement honoring the sacrifice of the Union soldiers at the Battle of Gettysburg: "A government of the people,for the people, and by the people."
In summary, popular sovereignty consists of a government supported by a Constitution and institutions listening to the needs and concerns of the people in order to act in consequence, this is, real democracy in action.
