c. he did not want to put the united states further into debt.
d. the united states would have to borrow the money from china.

Answer 1

It can't be D (that is all I know :))

It can't be B either

So we are left with A and C

more likely it is C due to debt problems and wars at this time :)

Answer 2

The correct answer is C) he did not want to put the United States further into depth.

Jefferson's main concern regarding the Louisiana purchase was that he did not want to put the United States further into depth.

Jefferson was decided to buy the Louisiana territory and sent James Madison to France to help Robert Livingstone -Minister to France- with the negotiations. The result was a successful one. The United States accepted to pay $11,2500,000 for 828,000 square miles of the Louisiana territory. The agreement was signed on May 2, 1803.
