Thomas Jefferson had TWO representatives in Paris to inquire about the purchase of New Orleans. Robert Livingston was sent there in 1801, and James Monroe (the former minister to France, and future US President) in late 1802. Just before Monroe's arrival in France, the French foreign minister proposed the sale of the whole of Louisiana. Livingston thought that the offer should be accepted before Napoleon changed his mind, and he and Monroe signed the treaty on April 30, 1803.

France Not France. During the time period when the United States signed the Constitution, Spain owned the Louisiana Territory. France later gained the territory shortly before President Thomas Jefferson made the decision to buy it.
Napoleon's decision to sell the Louisiana Territory to the U.S. was influenced by several factors, including his need for funds to support military campaigns in Europe, the difficulties of maintaining and defending the vast territory, and the loss of Haiti, which diminished his hopes for a North American empire. Additionally, the prospect of conflict with Great Britain made it impractical to hold onto the territory. Selling it to the U.S. not only provided immediate financial resources but also strengthened a potential ally against British interests.
