In 1803, President Thomas Jefferson sent a letter to the governor of Kentucky to inform him of negotiations taking place in France. This is a phrase from that letter.
...arrangements that may effectually secure our rights and interest in the Mississippi, and in
the country eastward of that.
Jefferson's actions in this event went against his belief in what idea?
o Only the Supreme Court had the power to authorize land purchases.
O New territories should be governed by Congress.
O Existing states should vote on all treaties enacted by the federal government.
O The Constitution should be strictly interpreted.
