Question

Which resulted from the Senate's not guilty verdict in Andrew Johnson's impeachment trial?

a. The Supreme Court became the most powerful branch of government.
b. Congress became more powerful than the president.
c. The president became more powerful than Congress.
d. The three branches of government remained equal in power.

Answer 1

Answer: All Branches of Government Stayed Equal. So D :D.

Answer 2

The correct answer is D. The three branches of government remained equal in power. Because the impeachment failed, there were initiatives and petitions to change the system from having a president with all executive powers, to creating a body of people who shared executive power. This never passed and everything remained the same as normal.
