One notable example of Thomas Jefferson expanding presidential power is his decision to proceed with the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. Despite his strict interpretation of the Constitution, which limited federal authority, Jefferson seized the opportunity to acquire vast territory from France, effectively doubling the size of the United States. He justified this action by emphasizing the need for national growth and security, setting a precedent for future executive actions that expanded presidential authority beyond strict constitutional limits.
