Question 1 Unsaved

History
1 answer:
AveGali [126]4 years ago

Answer:  It doubled the size of the country and guaranteed US control of the Mississippi River.

Explanation:  President Thomas Jefferson and those favoring the Louisiana Purchase justified it as an act done for the good of the country. Initially, President Jefferson had commissioned James Monroe and Robert Livingston to negotiate a deal with France to acquire New Orleans or all or part of Florida, as a means of avoiding the potential of an armed conflict in such areas.  Monroe and Livingston were authorized to spend up to $10 million.  What they found out was that Napoleon was already set to sell a much wider range of territory to the United States, to finance his European wars.  Napoleon was asking $22 million for the whole territory that became the Louisiana Purchase.  The US team negotiated the price down to $15 million.  But then there was a constitutional crisis back home.  Did the President have the authority under the constitution to make such a major addition to the nation's territory and spend the nation's funds to do so?  Jefferson himself considered pursuing a constitutional amendment, but his Cabinet members disagreed and the measure was sent to Congress for approval.  In a statement he made at the time, Jefferson justified the purchase with this analogy:  "“It is the case of a guardian, investing the money of his ward in purchasing an important adjacent territory; and saying to him when of age, I did this for your good."

What happend before the 16th and 17th amendment was passed?
VMariaS [17]

<u><em>16th Amendment:</em></u>

The 16th Amendment to the United States Constitution establishes that Congress shall have power to collect taxes on income, without apportionment among the states and without regard to any census or enumeration.

Before the 16th amendment was passed, The United States had to rely on tariffs in order to raise revenue. This reliance would have made it impossible for the country to implement a free trade system. As it was ratified in February 3rd, 1913, it also made it much easier to fund WWI.

<u><em>17th Amendment:</em></u>

The 17th Amendment of the United States Constitution established that the Senate shall be composed of two Senators from each state, elected for six years by the people of that state. Each senator shall have one vote, and the electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislatures.

The amendment was an object of discussion since the early 19th century, however, it was not adopted until the 20th century, when it became obvious that the question of Senate elections had become problematic. The 17th Amendment ensured that the balance of power established by the constitution was protected. It also balanced states government's rights.
