Your answer would be Johnson said the rights and guarantees of the Emancipation Proclamation were sufficient to protect blacks civil rights and a new bill was unnecessary.
The statement that was not the reason Johnson used when vetoing the freedmen's bureau and the civil rights bill of 1866 was that Johnson said the rights and guarantees of the Emancipation Proclamation were sufficient to protect blacks civil rights and a new bill was unnecessary.
Definitions:
Freedmen's Bureau:
An agency that helped former slaves right after the civil war.
Civil Rights Bill of 1866:
An act that made all people that were born in the U.S citizens, no matter their color, race, religion, etc. And all of the people are protected by the law equally
Emancipation Proclamation:
A proclamation made by former President Lincoln that changed the status of over millions of former slaves after the civil war.
Explanation:
The reason why "Johnson said the rights and guarantees of the Emancipation Proclamation were sufficient to protect blacks civil rights and a new bill was unnecessary" is your answer is because when Johnson vetoed the agency, he didn't say that the Emancipation Proclamation, a proclamation made by former President Lincoln, was already enough for the civil rights. What that statement is saying is that the proclamation that changed the status of over millions of former slaves was already enough for civil rights, and any other form of bill was unnecessary. Johnson believed that there shouldn't be anymore worked to have civil rights for former slaves, so that's why he vetoed the bill, but the statement was not a reason on why he voted the bill. After he vetoed the bill, congress was too late to override the bill during the next day.
Why the other answer choices are incorrect:
The answer choice "Johnson said the measures \"favored\" blacks over whites and was outside the bounds of the Constitution in doing so" is INCORRECT because:
This is one of the reasons on why he vetoed the bill. He believed that the blacks were being favored over the whiter people, in other words, he believed that the blacks were getting all of the attention and leaving the whites like they're just there. This is one of the statements he said on why he vetoed the bill.
The answer choice "Johnson said the measures were invalid because Southern states weren't represented in Congress during the vote" is INCORRECT because:
This was another statement he used. Southern states were against the freedmen's bureau, and so was Andrew Johnson. Since there were against it, the southern states were represented in Congress be cause the people believed if the Southern states were present, they would right away vote against the bill.
The answer choice "Johnson said providing social services for indigents via the Freedmen's Bureau was outside the powers delineated in the Constitution" is INCORRECT because:
He also used this statement on the reasons why he vetoed the bill. He believed that the bill was going against what the constitution put out. He felt like the people that the freedmen's bureau were helping were not part of the constitution because they were former slaves.
