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.

Umnica [9.8K]

Divine intervention is required by Homer so that he can tell the story as it happened.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • "Iliad" is the epic written by Homer, where he speaks introduces the hero Odysseus and his importance as a great leader and warrior.
  • At the beginning of the story, Homer asks the gods to help him tell the story.
  • That's because the gods interfere with the story all the time, which allows the plot to develop and many events to take place.
  • An example of this can be seen when the goddess Athena interferes in the relationship between Achilles and Agamemnon.

This is because Athens wanted the Achaeans to win the battle against the Trojans. She knew that Achilles' irritability would make him attack Agamemnon and that would be very disadvantageous. For that reason, she kept Achilles from getting angry.
