Thomas Jefferson's purchase of the Louisiana Territory could be viewed as hypocritical because the action was antithetical to his political beliefs. although many would say he was a hypocrite for agreeing to this presidential decision, others adverse. one should make decisions for the greater good of the country regardless of his political affiliation, hypothetically speaking, him being a democratic-republican. this raised much controversy. those who viewed him as a hypocrite said his action was unconstitutional, although it wasn't necessarily stated in the constitution, therefore it was implied so. 

Jefferson was considered a strict constitutionalist, not wishing to overstep his limited powers. even though the Louisiana purchase advantaged the U.S. by doubling the nations size.

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Many of the ideas concerning separation of powers and protection of rights were implemented in the United States.

Explanation:

The 1688 revolution, also known as the glorious revolution, was influenced by political and religious difficulties in the country at that time. It resulted in the dismissal of King James II. It promoted the power of parliament by diminishing the power of the monarchy and influencing the current democratic laws of Great Britain.    

After the effects of the glorious revolution, the declaration of the rights of England was drafted, this declaration was intended to establish the duties and rights of the king and citizens, as well as to separate each of the powers.  

Following the example of England, when the United States of America proclaimed its independence from Great Britain, it took as an example the declaration of rights of England to draft the Declaration of Independence, which establishes the human rights of the new nation. It also takes as an example of the separation of powers by separately establishing the executive, judicial, and legislative power.
