The presidential reconstruction plan had much more leniency towards the states who had joined the Confederacy during the Civil War while Congress wanted to instate harsher policies and punish those specific states.

the belief that a winning political party is empowered by the voters to carry out campaign promises is called a mandate. mandate is also an authority given to a constituency to represent someone or a group.
