The Border Ruffians contribute to the "Bleeding Kansas" problem "as they forced local residents to vote for pro slavery candidates".
Answer: Option B
<u>Explanation:
</u>
The Border Ruffians were Missouri slave-state pro-slavery demonstrators. They crossed the state border from the period 1854 -1860 to Kansas Territory as to compel slavery to be recognized there. Armed Ruffians intervened with territorial elections and hitted settlements in the Free State. The term "Bleeding Kansas" originated from this violence.
Bands of armed Ruffians occupied polling places when elections were held in Kansas Territory. They prohibited people from voting for Free-State, so they cast illegal votes. Border Ruffians voted a territorial delegate pro-slavery to Congress on 29 November 1854.

Correct answer: A. President Jefferson purchased the Louisiana Territory from France.
Explanation:
Initially, President Thomas Jefferson had commissioned James Monroe and Robert Livingston to negotiate a deal with France to acquire New Orleans or all or part of Florida, as a means of avoiding the potential of an armed conflict in such areas. Monroe and Livingston were authorized to spend up to $10 million. What they found out was that Napoleon was already set 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. The deal with France was made in 1803.
Then, however, 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? Ultimately, Jefferson was convinced by his Cabinet members and sent the measure to Congress for approval. In a statement he made at the time, Jefferson justified the purchase with this analogy: "“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."
