The purchase doubled the size of the United States, greatly strengthened the country materially and strategically, provided a powerful impetus to westward expansion, and confirmed the doctrine of implied powers of the federal Constitution.

The Louisiana Purchase in 1803 was extremely important to the United States because it dramatically expanded the size of the country.
