What was true about president Jefferson's decision to buy The Louisiana Purchase?
President Thomas Jefferson's decision to buy the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 was significant because it doubled the size of the United States, providing vast tracts of land for westward expansion. However, it also conflicted with Jefferson's strict interpretation of the Constitution, as he grappled with the legality of such a significant acquisition. Ultimately, he recognized the strategic and economic benefits of the purchase, which secured control of the Mississippi River and facilitated trade. The decision marked a pivotal moment in American history, shaping the nation's future growth and exploration.
Did Jefferson's dilemma concerning the Louisiana Purchase was that nowhere in the Constitution does it give the power to the President to buy land from a foreign country true of false?
True
Is it true jefferson's position favoring the Louisiana purchase is an example of strict construction of the constitution?
No that is false. It is an example of loose construction.
True or false Jefferson's position favoring the Louisiana purchase and example of loose construction of the constitution?
Absolutely not. The constitution contained no provision for expansion of the country and the Louisiana Purchase has always been historically seen as a case where Jefferson overstepped his powers as President. Jefferson himself was conscious of this and even considered seeking a constitutional amendment to grant hims the authority for the purchase, but he had to abandon it when it became clear that an amendment couldn't be ratified before Napoleon changed his mind about selling Louisiana. So the Louisiana Purchase is an example of an act which goes far beyond anything that could be considered "strict construction."

What caused people to believe that Aaron Burr was a traitor?
Based on the letters of Thomas Jefferson, Aaron Burr was a traitor to the United States. He , however was never convicted as such. According to Jefferson and others, Burr plotted with the British minister in Washington DC, to take the territory of the Louisiana Purchase out of the Union. He attempted to obtain $500,000 from Britain and use it to build an army to attack Spanish colonies. In addition, he supposedly plotted with a US General James Wilkinson who was the military of the Louisiana Territory. And, Wilkinson was an agent of the king of Spain. This seems rather extraordinary, however, various records claim it was true.
