How did westward expansion influence the meaning of freedom in the United States?

History

Answer:

Explanation:

In 1803, President Thomas Jefferson purchased the territory of Louisiana from the French government for $15 million. The Louisiana Purchase stretched from the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains and from Canada to New Orleans, and it doubled the size of the United States. To Jefferson, westward expansion was the key to the nation’s health: He believed that a republic depended on an independent, virtuous citizenry for its survival, and that independence and virtue went hand in hand with land ownership, especially the ownership of small farms. (“Those who labor in the earth,” he wrote, “are the chosen people of God.”) In order to provide enough land to sustain this ideal population of virtuous yeomen, the United States would have to continue to expand. The westward expansion of the United States is one of the defining themes of 19th-century American history, but it is not just the story of Jefferson’s expanding “empire of liberty.” On the contrary, as one historian writes, in the six decades after the Louisiana Purchase, westward expansion “very nearly destroy[ed] the republic.”

Answer:

(B) high taxes for all three Estates.

Explanation:

In the late eighteenth century towards the French Revolution, the French experienced certain problems that largely affected the sociopolitical and economic landscape of the country. Some of which includes:

1. High food prices, including bread due to shortage of food.

2. An increase in the national debt resulting from the indirect involvement of France in the American revolutionary war

3. A weak, indecisive king, King Louis XVI was widely believed to take actions in such a way that doesn't show direction or confidence

4. Food shortages due to bad harvests

5. Top class people or Estates such as clergy and nobility class were exempted from paying taxes.

Hence, in this case, the correct answer is "high taxes for all three Estates, " which is not part of the French problem during this period.
