When President Thomas Jefferson acquired the Louisiana Territory from France, he demonstrated that he had modified his belief that 1. the Constitution should be strictly interpreted 2. the federal government should limit individual rights 3. adding territory would lead to regional rivalries 4. commercial development was the main goal of the federal government

The Louisiana Purchase had great geographic significance for the United States because it 1. reduced British control of North America 2. focused the United States on westward expansion 3. extended United States control over Mexico 4. decreased tensions with Native American Indians

Alexander Hamilton’s argument that the government has the power to create a National Bank is based on which part of the Constitution? 1. the Preamble 2. the elastic clause 3. guarantees to the States 4. the Bill of Rights

Actions and policies of the Government under President George Washington generally resulted in the 1. establishment of strong political ties with other nations 2. liberation of many enslaved persons 3. failure to create a sound financial program for the country 4. strengthening of the Federal Government

One factor that led to the formation of the first two political parties in the United States in the 1790s was the conflict over the 1. distribution of power between the federal and state governments 2. spread of slavery into the western territories 3. control of interstate commerce 4. acquisition of lands from France and Spain
