Why were impeachment charges brought against President Johnson?

He did not enforce the Reconstruction laws passed by Congress.

His policies provided more rights to Freedman than Congress approved.

He allowed the Southern states no say in the implementation of Reconstruction.

He was too faithfully implementing President Lincoln’s Reconstruction plans.
