Louisiana Purchase

Marbury vs. Madison

Answer 1

I would choose the Louisiana Purchase since it was a landmark event in American history. The Louisiana Purchase was a turning point for the US because it expanded the size of the country. This was a deal between France and the US where the US acquired 827,000 sq miles of land west of the Mississippi River for 15 million.
