Answer: Parliament
Here are some key moments in the history of the growing power of Parliament in English history:
<u>The Magna Carta </u>(1215) asserted noblemen's rights in relationship to the king. It set the principle of rights which would later be expanded.
<u>The English Civil War</u> (1642-1651) was a battle between Parliamentary forces and the armies of the king, because of a perceived overstepping of power by King Charles I. Charles was executed and Parliamentary forces (led by Oliver Cromwell) came to power.
<u>The Bill of Rights</u> (1689) was an agreement made with King William III and Queen Mary II as they came over from the Netherlands to take up the royal throne of England after the so-called "Glorious Revolution" of 1688. It limited the power of the monarch and gave greater authority to Parliament, essentially setting up England as a constitutional monarchy (rather than an absolutist rule by a monarch).
Thomas Jefferson wanted to buy the Louisiana Purchase for several reasons. First, it would double the size of the United States. From this deal, the US would gain roughly 828,000,000 square miles of territory from the French. Another reason why Jefferson wanted to buy this territory was because it would help to get rid of European influence in America. Since the US recently became independent, they wanted to expand their power and influence without worrying about conflict with European nations. Along with this, Jefferson was expanding America's territory in order to fulfill their "manifest destiny." Jefferson's purchase is the beginning of this concept, which is based around the belief that it is America's god given right to control all the land from the Atlantic to Pacific Ocean.
