Explanation:

• Question 7: The decision not to remove President Johnson during his impeachment proceedings upheld the principle of the separation of powers. The presidency is an independent branch of government, and this decision maintained that Congress could not over - control the executive branch.
• Question 8: Moderate Republicans were more focused on a relatively quick reunification of the nation with less emphasis on a radical social transformation. Radical Republicans, on the other hand, wanted a more far - reaching social revolution in the South, often driven by federal government intervention.
• Question 9: Lincoln believed that the South had not legally seceded (he considered secession unconstitutional). So, his view of Reconstruction was more lenient as he saw the South as having a more continuous (albeit rebellious) relationship with the Union.
