What was not a primary motivation for Republicans to promote congressional reconstruction over those policies proposed by Lincoln and Johnson is: " Congressional leaders wanted to restore the Union as quickly as possible."

US Congress did not share the same Reconstruction ideas of President Lincoln and Jackson. Let's have in mind that after the Abraham Lincoln assassination, Andrew Jackson became the president of the United States and continued with the Reconstruction process. Some Radical Republicans did not support the considerations for the southern states that the President had in mind.

What the Congress wanted to with the confederated states was first, that the policy of Reconstruction should be in the hands of Congressmen. Then, representatives and Senators thought that the southern states should be punished for their crimes against the Union and the destruction of so much property. And of course, they wanted to limit the power and faculties of southern states.

The other options of the question were a) Congress felt that Reconstruction policy should be under its authority, c) Congress wanted to punish the south for its crimes against the Union, and d) Congressional leaders wanted to keep southern states out of power.
