MODEL RESPONSE
Question: Why was President Andrew Johnson impeached and what impact did it have?
FACT/ANALYSIS: The textbook reveals that Johnson was charged with high crimes and misdemeanors on eleven counts of misconduct (452-453). The impeachment did not bring down the president because Congress fell short of convicting him. The book states that the dissenting Republicans felt that removing a president for defying Congress was too damaging to the constitutional system of checks and balances (452-453). The impeachment did open the door for Ulysses S. Grant to become the next president (1).OPINION/REFLECTION: Although the book does not specifically state what charges were brought against Johnson it seems as though Congress wanted to punish him for his anti-suffrage views. It is clear that tensions were high during this period and that the country was still trying to grapple with all the difficulties of the post-Civil War period.
