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.

storchak [24]
What the three cases have in common is that they were all victories for the people and their amendment guaranteed rights against states who wanted to obstruct those. The first case was about preventing states from limiting freedom of speech, the second was about preventing illegally obtained evidence from being used in court, and the third was that the states have an obligation to provide a lawyer to criminals if they can't pay for them.
