What reason might the federalists have for Opposing President Thomas Jefferson's plan
Thomas Jefferson (served 1801-1809) was President in 1803 when the Louisiana Purchase was made.Thomas Jefferson purchased the Louisiana Territory from Napoleon in give the US access to the Mississippi and the port at New Orleans. Although the Constitution did not strictly express that the U.S. could purchase land from foreign nations, Jefferson asserted that it was a part of his presidential power to make treaties. The territory expanded from the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains and more than doubled the size of the US. The territory was bought for $15 million, about 3 cents an acre.
the Constitution never said that the president has authority to make land purchases.
Yes, Thomas Jefferson wanted to be president. In 1796 he ran against John Adams and lost but was elected vice president. In the 1800 election, Jefferson ran again and defeated Adams. In this election, he was in a tie vote with Aaron Burr and Jefferson did everything possible to try to win over Burr. Jefferson ran for a second term in 1804 and won.
He wrote The Declaration of Independence is one thing.Another is that he was a Vice President of the United States of America.Lastly,he was the third President of the United States of America.
He became the 3rd President of the United States, was an ambassador to France, wrote books, and stayed active in helping make policy.
