Congress does not seem very diverse. Examples might include:
• The 113th Congress has only one African American senator.
• The clear majority of both houses is male, through women make up almost half of the US population.
• Ethnic minorities only make up 17% of congress.

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."
Strength: It was a good plan
