3. LOUISIANA PURCHASE

4. Eyeing the Louisiana Territory
Jefferson wanted more land - Expand to the Pacific Ocean
Problem: U.S. already had Native Americans and European colonists
Napoleon Bonaparte forced Spain to give him Louisiana Territory
French control of Mississippi threatened to shut down American trade route needed for shipping goods to Eastern markets
Jefferson offered to buy New Orleans and rights to Mississippi River from France
Constitution doesn’t allow president to do this

5. Louisiana Purchase
Napoleon needed money and soldiers for domination plans in Europe and a slave revolt in the Caribbean
April 30, 1803: Louisiana Purchase for $15 million (3 cents an acre) – Doubled the size of the U.S.
$11.25 million for land & $3.75 million for debts

6. Justifying his actions…
Nowhere in the Constitution says a President can buy land
Jefferson had to use IMPLIED powers – the power that states that he can make peace with another nation.
Kept peace with France: bought land so used this as a treaty
