The Louisiana Purchase was controversial at the time. Jefferson was the “strict constructionist,” and the Constitution doesn’t say anything about the Federal government buying territory from other countries. Jefferson and the Democratic-Republicans maintained that it was covered under the treaty-making power, and that is the view that ultimately prevailed.
