Answer:

C

tell me if wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

They had no authority to buy all of Louisiana. ... The Constitution, he reasoned, allowed the President to make treaties, and buying the Louisiana territory was part of a treaty. Federalists opposed the purchase as unconstitutional and feared it would weaken the other states.
