Answer 2

There were full access and control given to the radical republicans over the policy making in Congress reconstruction whereas in presidential reconstruction 10 % rule was to be followed.

Explanation:

• The presidential reconstruction period is around 1865-1867. In this policy, it is said to be that Abraham Lincoln had created the rule with the 10% but before he could put into the act he was assassinated.  
• The 10% rule says that there can reenter of a  state if 10 % of the voters took the pledge with an oath of commitment to be abiding by emancipation.
• Congressional reconstruction is called radical reconstruction because the radical republicans have the power in policy drafting and also they favor the forfeited rights rule.  
• But this plan was to get revenge on the south.
