d-president jefferson acted in accordance with the us constitution in making the louisiana purchase.

The correct answer is A) President Jefferson decided to purchase the Louisiana Territory from France.

In 1803, Napoleon was looking to sell the Louisiana territory, as the Napoleonic Wars were costing France a significant amount of money. This is when Napoleon looked to sell the land and turned to the US first. Even though Jefferson questioned whether or not it was constitutional to have the president to buy land from another country, it would further extend his hopes of an agrarian utopia within America. This is why Jefferson agreed to buy this land from France, adding 800,000 square miles to the United States.
