Most were members of the Federalist Party like former Senator George Cabot of Massachusetts and Massachusetta Senator Timothy Pickering. Pickering was well qualified to lead the opposition having served as Postmaster General, Secretary of War and Secretary of State. It should be noted that in many cases there were different reasons for opposition to the Louisiana Purchase. Some were against it on Constitutional grounds, some felt it would anger the British and still others felt that it was a waste of good money.

The Louisiana Purchase was not popularly opposed by any specific senators. However, there were instances of dissent and criticism from some federalists, such as Timothy Pickering and Rufus King, who believed that the purchase was unconstitutional and would give too much power to the west. These concerns were largely overshadowed by the widespread support for the acquisition.
