Answer 1

The Louisiana Purchase went against the principle of limited federal government. Jefferson was a proponent of a strict interpretation of the Constitution, and he believed that the federal government should not exercise powers that were not explicitly granted by the Constitution. The acquisition of the Louisiana Territory was not explicitly authorized by the Constitution, leading to a conflict with his principles regarding limited federal power.
