Answer:

The general opinion of many Americans at the time of the purchase was that Jefferson was being hypocritical by going through with it. Jefferson was known to have a strict interpretation of the Constitution and believed the president only had the powers the Constitution gave him. Since there was no Constitutional precedent for buying land to add territory to the United States, there was theoretically no Constitutional authority for the president to buy the land.

Many of those in the Federalist party (the opposing party to Jefferson’s Democratic-Republicans) believed that he would have objected on Constitutional grounds if any of them had tried to do the same thing. Therefore, the Federalists were very much opposed to the purchase. They also believed that by buying land from France, they would alienate Great Britain, whom they wanted as a close ally.

<h3>Who was James I of England?</h3>

On June 19, 1566, James was born at Edinburgh Castle to Henry Stewart, Lord Darnley (1545-1567) and Mary, Queen of Scots (r. 1542-1567). Mary's reign was marred by scandals involving two marriages and two murder conspiracies, one of which resulted in the execution of Lord Darnley in February 1567. Mary's ardent support of Catholicism in a realm that had turned significantly towards Protestantism did not help. In brief, Mary was forced to abdicate on July 24, 1567, in favor of her son, James VI of Scotland. On July 29, 1567, James was crowned at Stirling's Holy Rude Church.

Choose one of the rights from Amendments four, five, six, or eight that you feel is particularly important to life in the United

AveGali [126]

The 5th Amendment states that "No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation"

This is important as it means that, amongst other things, the Government can't make you provide testimony against yourself.

For instance, in Rochin v. California, the Supreme Court held that cops couldn't beat you until you vomited up the drugs you swallowed to hide from the cops. They ruled that the police officers violated the suspect's 5th amendment rights.
