It's because it contradicted his political ideologies and campaign promises.(A)

The correct answer is A) it contradicted Jefferson's constitutional principles.

Before this purchase, Jefferson was an advocate of a strict interpretation of the US Constitution. This means he believed that that the constitution should be followed exactly how it is written. Jefferson did not believe in "implied powers." Simply put, if the power to take an action was not explicitly given to the federal government in the Constitution, than the federal government could not take that action.

The purchase of the Louisiana territory contradicts this belief, as nowhere in the Constitution does it say that the president has the power to buy land from a foreign country.

 will give branliest how did american Imperialism lead people to assimilation
aleksklad [387]
American imperialism resulted in the US gaining territories like Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Cuba, and the Philippines. Since the US took over these territories, they started to implement their political and economic beliefs in these places.

For example, the US would set up government structures that were similar to the US. In terms of laws, these individuals were expected to follow the laws established by the US. This changed their society tremendously.

Along with this, the US implemented their economic policies that were based around favorable trade deals. This would lead to the US to gain new natural resources from these territories.

In four to five sentences, compare and contrast environmental and genetic factors that affect a plant's growth.
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

In general, there are two factors affecting plant growth and development; genetic and environmental. The most important environmental factors that affect a plant's growth are light, temperature, and water (precipitation). Changing any of these can cause the plant stress which stunts or changes growth. The genetic factor is also called internal factor because the basis of plant expression (the gene) is located within the cell.

How could adding a new state to the Union add to the conflict over slavery?
KIM [24]
It would be a conflict because they would have to decide whether that state would be a slave state or a free state. And both sides were not willing to compromise because the power balance in congress would be broken depending on that state.
