The Louisiana Purchase wasn't embarrassing to Jefferson. It was a form of "unhinged alters" to America. It went against the masses which is why this could have been seen as a controversial concept to the people back then. Nobody was open to change, therefore in some eyes people thought Jefferson should have been reprimanded.The people thought he was going against the constitution, making it "illegal" for the purchase to even happen.

what does the episode with the king of the bulgars suggest about Voltaire’s opinion on criminal justice

Igoryamba

Answer:

<h3>Voltaire also seems to support empathy and forgiveness towards criminals. </h3>

Explanation:

Voltaire's episode with the King of the Bulgarians suggests that he was a <u>sympathetic and compassionate person</u>. In this episode Voltaire explains how Candide was punished so severely without mercy.

However when the King saw Candide, he forgave him instantly and asked his physicians to treat with the best medicines. It portrays the King's sympathy towards wrong doers or accused criminals.

Similarly, V<u>oltaire also seems to support empathy and forgiveness towards criminals</u>. He does not encourage harsh punishments or biased judgement in the courts.
