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."
Answer:
Mary Wollstonecraft was an Enlightenment thinker as she applied Enlightenment ideas on individual freedom to women, as well as to men.
Explanation:
Mary Wollstonecraft was an English philosopher and writer. Considered a leading figure in the modern world, she wrote novels, stories, essays, treatises, a travel story and a children's literature book. As an eighteenth-century woman, she was able to establish herself as a professional and independent writer in London, something unusual for the time. In her work Vindication of women's rights (1792), she argues that women are not by nature inferior to men, but appear to be because they do not receive the same education, and that men and women should be treated as rational beings. She imagined, also, a social order based on reason. With this work, she established the foundations of modern feminism and made her one of the most popular women in Europe of the time.
