Question 1 Unsaved

History

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."

Explain why the Enlightenment is sometimes called the Age of Reason and link it to the Scientific Revolution of the 1500s and 16
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

The Reason why the Enlightenment is called the Scientific Revolution is that there have been many innovations or invention and theories that have been made and became laws.

Explanation:

It is called the Scientific Revolution due to many inventions or innovations and laws that have been established from astronomer and physicians.

These include Issac Newton with his telescope. He believed that light acts like particles, so he used that information to his construction of his telescope. These include a mirror on his telescope for light to bounce off the surface. In addition, his construction led to a better image and more magnification.

Other examples are Galileo's refracted telescope. Using light to act like a wave. However, Newton did improve his design. His images would be distorted when looking into outer space.

Newton also discovered gravity and made laws with an apple falling on his head. In addition, he also established laws of motion. It is the three laws that apply to our everyday lives.

Finally, another example is Christian Huygens who believes that light would act like a wave for diffraction and refraction.

Hope this helps!
