3 0

The relationship between the Louisiana Purchase and political power was that it was seen as unconstitutional (and the Federalists argued this) to acquire this territory which spanned a huge region across the United States and Canada, but since Thomas Jefferson (who was then the President) had the final say, he decided this was because he had the most political power, so this showed he felt above the Constitution of the United States, because he had treaty power.

Answer:

C. Lack of a bill of rights in the new constitution is problematic is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The Anti Federalists were the politicians who were against the US constitution which was adopted in 1787. They considered the constitution to be giving too much power to the central government and they were afraid of giving too much power to single national government as the government could infringe upon the rights of citizens and states. Patrick Henry, James Winthrop and George Mason were some of the famous Anti federalists. They were afraid of the new constitution because the states were given more power in Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union while it wasn't so in the new constitution. Their influence led to the passage of bill of rights. They wanted to establish a weak Central government as was in Articles of Confederation and wanted for strong central governments.

Compare and contrast a court “precedent” and a president “precedent”

GenaCL600 [577]

Court precedents are used in case of having no clear interpretation of the law for a particular case. President's precedents are simply acts performed by a President in a similar situation.

Explanation:

Court precedents serve as an alternate to written laws when the existing guided laws are not suitable or simply not enough for a particular situation that arises.

For this, the court can refer to a previous judgement as basis for their own judgement. Thus, court precedents are enforceable by law.

Precedents set by a President serve at best, as guidelines.

They are simply acts performed by a previous President when met with a similar situation.
