The correct answer is:

Voters had to ratify the Thirteenth Amendment, and state constitutions had to ban slavery.

By 1865 Johnson admitted ten out of the eleven seceded states back into the Union. His conditions to do s were that the states would have to ratify a constitution that banished secession, declare the end of slavery and repudiate any debts incurred during the Civil War.
