Heres everything she said but edited for notes ;) Thomas Jefferson, the author of the declaration of independence, was not a fan of the New Constitution (1787). He was worried that the constitution gave too much power to the new, national government, and not enough power to the states, an issue known as “Big Government”. Jefferson only reluctantly agreed to support it when James Madison promised to propose a bill of rights after it was ratified. But Jefferson’s fears about big government did not go away. For example, Secretary of the treasury, Alexander Hamilton, proposed a national bank in 1790, and Jefferson knew there was no provision in the constitution to permit such a thing. Hamilton claimed implied power. Jefferson didn’t buy it and the bank was established by Hamilton and President Washington. When Jefferson was sworn in as president in 1801, he pledged to reduce the size and scope of the national government. But things didn’t go as planned and Spain secretly transferred the Louisiana territory to France. When Congress found out, they quickly began discussions with France to buy a piece of the territory along the Mississippi River for about $2 million. But Jefferson knew there was no provision in the constitution to buy foreign territory. So, he tried to get an amendment to the constitution passed that would expressly permit the purchase, but Congress wasn’t willing to do it. Then, without permission, the U.S. negotiators in France cut a deal for all the territory for $15 million. The new land doubled the size of the nation. Jefferson knew that the territory would be a great acquisition for the country, providing lots of new land for farmers and other settlers, but how could he constitutionally justify it? In the end, Jefferson turned to the argument used by Alexander Hamilton. He claimed that the power to purchase the territory is implied in The Constitution’s treaty-making power (the same argument he mocked before).

Expanding the size of the country and expanding the power of the government over the people are two very different concepts. The threat of “big government” applies to the federal government possessing too much power that threatens the private lives of its citizens. Jefferson did not make a “big government” play, in doing this, he did nothing to increase the federal governments privileges or abilities over that of the state and local governments. Also, purchasing land can be much easier defended by the Constitution rather than the institution of a national bank. Schools are funded and are provided curriculum by the government, therefore they naturally support them in their teaching methods. My middle school U.S. history teacher and my current AP U.S. history teacher (both belonging to the left) exaggerated the point made in this video, claiming that this proved that a larger national government would be the solution to the country’s problems, and the most effective way to govern a country. However, as I’ve already stated, increasing federal power over citizens and domestic matters and allowing the growth of the country do not relate to one another. History should be taught from a neutral perspective, and students should be properly educated over multiple viewpoints towards an event so that they can form their own ideas and political stance. They should not be spoon fed reasonings from only one side of the political spectrum (right or left) and taught to believe in only one understanding of history as it relates to politics.

No, they (at least those that see this video) are going that Jefferson believed the government should be limited in scope to what powers constitution granted it, then Jefferson made the purchase contrary to his own view point and defended it with language he had previously mocked. I think that most agree that no government and totalitarianism are both bad. The question every generation faces is what is the right balance between individual right, state powers and federal powers.
@zackbleiler80416 жыл бұрын
Your point is somewhat invalid. The Constitution does give the President and the Senate jurisdiction over Treaties, which a large scale land purchase from another nation is reasonably considered as such since the deifinition of treaty is that of "a formally concluded and ratified agreement between countries", To compare this to the constitutionally compromising origins of the First Bank of the US is just ludicrous. Treaty jurisdiction is explicitly stated in the constitution, whereas there was no mention of a central bank or centralized monetary system other than precious metals in the constitution.

The Louisiana Purchase was not a "move" made by Jefferson at all. He sent two negotiators to France to negotiate the sale of the New Orleans port, but instead, France offered the sale of the whole territory (for a number of reasons). The negotiators had to decide for themselves if they were going to buy the whole territory (and go beyond their agreed spending limit) because there was no fast way to communicate back to Jefferson. I would argue Jefferson had very little part in the Louisiana Purchase.

The argument wasn't that the Constitution implied the power to buy the land, it was that the Constitution granted the President the power to sign treaties.

Not only was the move perfectly Constitutional, Jefferson did not need to bend the Constitution and stayed true to his principles.

By 1803, Napoleon was going bankrupt fighting the Russians, Austrians, Prussians and British during the early years of the Napoleonic Wars. So Jefferson and Napoleon cut a deal because the two nations had one thing in common, they had added each other during the American Revolution and they were both sworn enemies of the British Empire. Napoleon would have done anything to watch the might of the British Empire fall and he agreed to sell to the Americans. During the Quasi-War of 1798, the American people wanted to declare war on the French but John Adams said no and made peace with Napoleon. That's right people, the US has been making deals with dictators since the days of the Second President!!! When Jefferson became president, he decided to expand American territory and buy the Louisiana Purchase, helping Napoleon's war against the British. Jefferson said "Hows about 15-million for the land and we dont go to war?" Napoleon: "Bet!!" The End :)

What did the United States get when it purchased the Louisiana territory from the French? Did the French have deeds to the property? Was not Louisiana a claim that the French had on the territory, and not a property right? So the United States acquired the "right" to move settlers into lands that were already settled by native Americans. Over the course of the 19th century the United States eviscerated the Indian Nations, both by murder and by broken treaties, and by placing them in concentration camps known otherwise as reservations. The central question is, did the United States have a right to an unmapped land that WAS populated by indigenous people, or was this (and manifest destiny) American imperialism?America is my home, though I am now living in Israel. I love my country and it's constitution. However, I have always gone beyond the idea that the government had the power to purchase Louisiana. I see it as colonialism and the idea of some of a continent wide nation without regard to the constitution or the people who we displaced in the process.I am not suggesting that we give it back or even reparations. Just that we know our history.

The Penguin Warriors I am a Jew and sympathetic to the Arabs who were displaced when they left in 1948 and then came back with the deed to their land only to be told that they had abandoned it. In that sense it is the same thing and Israel is concordant with the USA in that regard. However most of the Jews who came to Israel did not come from Europe (though many did) after the holocaust, but rather were refugees from Arab states that effectually threw them out (or made living there so impossible that leaving was the only option). So most of the Jews who assembled here in 1948 were refugees deprived of their property by Arab masters and found themselves in the exact same situation as the Arabs who were here. Also the Jewish immigration to Palestine did not begin after World War Two, but was a slow progression over many centuries, so that there was already an established Jewish community here, living under the British Mandate when the State of Israel was declared. Two wrongs don't make a right (and this puts me at odds with many of my Jewish brethren) but it adds some perspective, I think.

So much wrong here. The video isn’t saying “bigger country size = bigger government” at all. It’s saying that Jefferson’s *eventual* (he was very reluctant to do it, if not explicitly opposed, at first) choice to interpret the Constitution to suggest his and Congress’s implied authority (rather than one explicitly given) to buy foreign land, which open the door to an increase in the implied powers of the federal government that as of yet had been hotly debated, but instead became precedent for future Congresses, but especially future presidents ever since. Generally speaking, today’s (paleo)conservatives and libertarians (and some right-leaning moderates have decried Jefferson’s actions as “tyrannical” and executive “overreach”. Even Hamiltonian Federalists condemned and opposed the purchase, while Jeffersonian Democrats broadly supported it (it even caused the Federalists to expel then-Senator John Quincy Adams from their party and withdraw him from Congress, while Democrats embraced him; it also caused the Federalist former President John Adams to leave the party over the treatment of his son). So again, this *is* about Jefferson’s embrace of an flexible interpretation of the Constitution, but this isn’t about Jefferson being for either big or small govt. The purchase revealed his fundamental political principle: not “states’ rights” or “strict construction” or “small government”, but democracy, social progress, and a government that serves the people first (regardless of size). There’s a reason it’s called Jeffersonian *democracy*, not Jeffersonian minarchy, and why he explicitly identified himself with liberalism and radicalism (or “côte gauche”, that is left-wing, politics), not aristocracy or conservatism (or “côte droite”, that is right-wing”, politics). So it’s less about him “changing” his stance and more that government “of the people, by the people, for the people” (as Lincoln would later put it) will often necessitate moving between strict and loose interpretations so long as it benefits the people, and not concentrate wealth and power in the hands of a few as Hamilton and conservatives since have sought.

Lousiana, Florida, Texas, Nuevo Mexico, California, Alaska, Hawaii, etc, son ejemplos que no importa como se anexa territorios ya sea en compras o guerras si no como la mira expansionista de hacer una gran patria desde las costas del atlantico hasta el pacifico y si no es poco llegar hasta Asia con las colonias de Filipinas y Guam, vemos que Estados Unidos no importanto quien este de gobernante lo que si interesa es la expansion territorial en hacer una inmensa patria todo esto como un proyecto de nacion, asi de grande se hizo, se convirtio, se es hoy los Estados Unidos. Moraleja: Si algo se aprende de los presidentes estadounidenses es su decisivo empeño en heredar una nacion fuerte, desarrollada, potencia y no como en latinoamerica que por desinteres, torpeza, corrupcion, heredan a sus naciones atraso, subdesarrollo, pobreza, lo vemos hasta nuestros dias.
