Did Thomas Jefferson do the right thing when he bought land from a foreign country without having the constitutional right to do so? Should he have waited until a constitutional amendment giving him that power was passed? Explain your answer, citing details from the chapter to support your response.

Jefferson did the right thing because it would have taken too long for him to push through an amendment giving him power to purchase land from a foreign country; in the meantime, the French might have rescinded their offer or reconsidered the low price they were asking for the Louisiana Territory. Without the Louisiana Territory, the United States as we know it today would not exist. Furthermore, the French would have continued to be a powerful presence in North America, blocking access to the Mississippi River and preventing westward expansion. Jefferson was wrong to proceed without constitutional authority because Jefferson himself believed in the strict interpretation of the Constitution and that he was acting contrary to his beliefs. His action set a precedent for future Presidents to act without explicit permission granted by the Constitution.

To what extent were the Alien and Sedition Acts a violation of the democratic principles of the American Revolution?

The Alien Act restricted immigration.

The Sedition Act violated the First Amendment rights of free speech and the press. Both acts were designed to attack the growing power of the Republicans. Students might argue that the Republicans were more consistently supportive of the principles of the American Revolution; that is, they were suspicious of a powerful central government and advocated individual and states' rights.
