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."

That is one of the main reasons why we can say that John Locke's ideas were definitely liked by American leaders.

Answer:
During the Middle Kingdom, quite a few advancements had occurred. The most interesting advancement that I read about was the emergence of Egyptian literature. The texts provide us with a firmer grasp on Egyptian life such as the social unrest, famine, and every day life. A variety of texts developed over this time period. Egyptian literature was not only used for entertainment in story form, but it was used for many other things such as coffin texts, instructions, and discourses. More Egyptians were able to write and read with the establishment of the first school during the 12th dynasty. Those who were in lower ranks may have been able to read as well because coffin texts were found in graves of private individuals and not just in the ones for the royal family, as pyramid texts were during the Old Kingdom.
