Answer:

Reformers tried to tackle the limits of corporate government by proposing local (public) control of infrastructure and a tax system in which the rich bear the main burdens (Democrat Tom Johnson).

Explanation:

They developed recreational facilities such as public playgrounds and free concerts, and fought down their fares through streetcar companies. Reformers aimed to improve public transit and street transport. Pingree, Detroit's Republican Mayor, has converted empty neighborhood lots into vegetable gardens that helped feed thousands of working people. Neighborhoods of the working class promised affordable housing and municipal control of gas and electricity, as well as support for overcrowded public schools. We succeeded to the extent that a large number of things had changed despite the fact that their entire agenda was not achieved.

What was the relationship between Congress and President Johnson during presidential Reconstruction?

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

The Congress men supported the president

Explanation:

Frustrated by Johnson's actions, Congress proposed the Fourteenth Amendment to the states, and the amendment was ratified in 1868. As the conflict between the branches of government grew, Congress passed the Tenure of Office Act, restricting Johnson's ability to fire Cabinet officials.

Most moderate Republicans in Congress supported the president's proposal for Reconstruction because they wanted to bring a swift end to the war, but other Republicans feared that the planter aristocracy would be restored and the blacks would be forced back into slavery.
