Answer:

<h2>The Louisiana Purchase</h2>

<em>[You didn't show the map, but that's the probable answer.]</em>

Explanation:

President Thomas Jefferson commissioned James Monroe and Robert Livingston to negotiate a deal with France to acquire New Orleans or all or part of Florida. When they went to France to negotiate, Monroe and Livingston found that Napoleon was ready 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.  

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 initially thought a constitutional amendment might be necessary to authorize such a large action. Ultimately, Jefferson simply sought approval of the purchase from Congress.  He used this analogy to describe what his administration was doing on behalf of the country:  "“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."

Which phrase describes a major effect of the Protestant reformation
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. A major effect of the Protestant reformation was the spread of religious conflict in Europe.

Explanation:

The Protestant Reformation is the name for religious movements against the papacy and the Catholic Church in the 16th century, initiated by Martin Luther and John Calvin. From these movements, new religious communities emerged, independent of the papacy.  

The cause of the Reformation was the changed socio-economic relations, the chaotic situation in the Catholic Church, the corruption of the clergy and the sale of indulgences for sins. The Reformation movement and the resistance of the Catholic Church led to long and difficult religious wars,  such as the Thirty Years' War, which raged in Europe for decades and destroyed many material and cultural treasures.
