Answer 3

When Spain ceded the Louisiana Territory to France, the French cut off U.S. access to New Orleans. President Jefferson hoped to purchase New Orleans from France. The first offers were refused. However, in 1803, Bonaparte was preparing to attack Britain and failing to control Haiti. He needed money and no longer saw value in the Louisiana Territory. When Jefferson sent James Monroe to make a new offer, Bonaparte was ready to sell all of the Louisiana Territory for a mere 15 million dollars. This amount was about three cents per acre of land, though the borders of the territory were not defined well. The deal doubled the size of the United States. Some Americans thought the buy was unconstitutional. The U.S. Constitution does not specify that the nation may purchase land. However, Jefferson defended the deal through Article 2, Section 2, saying it gave him authority, with Senate approval, to make treaties with other nations.
