History
1 answer:
Paraphin [41]3 years ago
5 0
President Jefferson endorsed the purchase but believed that the Constitution did not provide the national government with the authority to make land acquisitions. He pondered whether a constitutional amendment might be needed to legalize the purchase. After consultations Jefferson concluded that the president's authority to make treaties could be used to justify the agreement. Therefore, the Louisiana Purchase was designated a treaty and submitted to the Senate for ratification. The Senate ratified the treaty October 20, 1803, and the United States took possession of the territory December 20, 1803.

Which statement correctly describes John Adams's presidency? A. He served two successful terms and was nominated for a third. B.
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
A is wrong, as if you check, John Adams' presidency was from 1797 to 1801--only a single four year term.
B is true. Since George Washington made the Proclomation of Neutrality before him, John Adams ended up having to uphold it. There's a famous debacle called the <em>XYZ </em><em>Affair</em> where US diplomats were stopped from talking to the French foreign minister by his agents unless they paid a hefty bribe. (whose names were replaced with X, Y, and Z when Adams released the documents so as to avoid involvement in French wars)
C is wrong. John Adams' wife, Abigail Adams, had been married to Adams for over thirty <em>years</em> before he took office.
D <em />is wrong. The Louisiana Purchase was in 1803, during which the third president, Thomas Jefferson, was in office.
