Answer: B. Secretary of State
Explanation:
The Office of the Secretary of State heads the Department of State which means that the holder is in charge of U.S. foreign policy. This position was traditionally seen as a stepping stone to the Presidency with Thomas Jefferson being the first Secretary and then becoming the third President.
Of recent however, Secretaries of State have not been very successful winning primaries( with the exception of Hillary Clinton in 2016) as parties seem to gravitate to those who have held democratic office but this position has however, produced 9 nominees for the Presidency since independence.
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.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- 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.
