Question

The Louisiana Purchase raised a serious question about the meaning of the Constitution. Do you think it was a good thing to interpret the Constitution in such a way as to expand the powers of the federal government? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Yes and no (Pick either one)

Step-by-step explanation:

In a federalist view, it was awesome! They had a sense of loosely interpreting the constitution. In the democratic-republican view though, it was okay. They strictly followed the constitution and thought the federal government should not have much power, and might have not favored it as much.

But for me, I think that the Louisana purchase opened up so many oppourtunies for America such as expansion, and helped make America to what it is today.
