D
the XYZ Affair

Answer 1

Answer:

ANSWER:: A

Explanation:

Answer 2

The event that challenged President Thomas Jefferson's beliefs about the Constitution's limits of presidential power is A. the Louisiana Purchase.

 

President Thomas Jefferson was very reluctant to exceed his presidential powers. The Louisiana Purchase involved the president concluding the purchase before asking Congress to ratify the purchase treaty with France.

 

But given the nation's interest and the pressure mounted by France's Napoleon, President Jefferson succumbed to pressure by his Secretary of State by making the purchase and then requesting Congress for the ratification and funding. It was an arduous move.

 

President Jefferson's beliefs about the Constitution's limits on presidential power remained unrattled by:

• The Twelfth Amendment
• The 1812 War against smuggling
• The XYZ Affair between the US and France in 1800.

Thus, his beliefs were challenged by the Louisiana Purchase because he exceeded his presidential powers.
