When Thomas Jefferson was president did he betray his ideals. Or did he stay true to his ideals. Please leave me all of your thoughts. I would appreciate it very much

jefferson believed in a strict interpretation of the constitution, but when he bought the louisiana purchase the constitution never gave him the right to do that. he went through a loophole were the constitution says that the president can make treaties as long as congress passes it (they did).
^do u guys think that he kept to his beliefs in this or did he just make an excuse to seem politically correct to the general public? |
