For most it was feared that it would shift the political balance between the parties.
It voided all claims by Russia in North America including valid claims to Washington State and Oregon.
Alaska used to belong to Russia. Alaska is very close to Russia, and is believed to have been connected to Russia by the Bering Land Bridge. The United States, at the behest of Secretary of State William Seward, bought Alaska in 1867 for $7,200,000 (according to the Wikipedia article on the Alaska Purchase).
Admission to the union requires an act of Congress. I think Congress sets all the rules as it wishes, but in past, the government of the territory that wants to become a state would draw up a proposed constitution. I think they all had a general election that showed that a majority in the territory wanted statehood and approved the proposed state constitution.
Strict constructionists want Congress to use only expressed powers.

Because they had more people due to bigger population.
Only Congress has the power to make laws, so if the President want a law passed, he has no choice but to prevail upon Congress to pass it. That is how the US Constitution has set up the government to work.
They were afraid that since a few delegates had walked out of the Constitution and how there had been so many disagreements that the Congress and state governments might not want to ratify the Constitution.
Actually, presidents do not make the laws. Only congress can make the laws. Presidents will promote or push their priorities and try to encourage congress to turn those priorities into laws. Presidents need to work closely with congress, since no bills will pass unless congress agrees to pass them, no matter how much a president might want something done.
