Jefferson did not write the U.S. Constitution. At the time of its writing, he was in Paris trying to get friends for the revolutionary movement. As for the colonist, you do not specify which colonist you are asking about.

The Constitution Committee developed the Constitution which was ratified by the Confederation of 13 states in 1789.
President Jefferson believed that of it wasn't already in the Constitution then that power belonged to the states instead of the Federal Government. The ability to make the purchase wasn't in the Constitution but the deal needed to be completed quickly.
It was violated because it did not say anywhere in the Constitution that the president could buy or sell land, But after much consideration he did make the settlement. The argument can be made that the Louisiana Purchase by President Jefferson was unconstitutional since there are no rights listed for the President to expand the borders of the United States. Supporters of this action however argue that Jefferson was acting as a treaty with France and Spain in the purchase and therefore it was constitutional.
