Answer 1

Answer:

C. Jefferson wanted to double the amount of land to support America's agricultural economy

Explanation:

He bought land for $15 million in 1803 that made the United States twice as big at the time. To help small farmers, Thomas Jefferson bought the land of Louisiana from France even though it was against what he thought of the Constitution's rules about how the president should be able to do things.
