Some say that this real estate deal was the best thing Jefferson ever accomplished because it doubled the size of the country and secured ownership of New Orleans. At the time of the deal, though, many Americans believed the opposite was true about the deal. Those against the deal believed that the purchase of the Louisiana Territory was illegal because the Constitution did not give Jefferson the right to purchase land for the U. S. Technically, these detractors were correct. Jefferson was even aware of the fact that he did not have the right to buy land. Despite knowing that the law was technically not on his side in the deal, Jefferson decided to go ahead with the deal. He thought that passing up a deal like that would be ludicrous. Why did some believe the Louisiana Purchase was the best thing Jefferson ever accomplished? HELP NOW IT IS TIMED

Some the Louisiana Purchase was the best thing Jefferson ever accomplished because of the sheer amount of land the U.S gained for such an infinitesimal price in comparison.

Explanation:

(I'm not sure of the answer choices, but I can still try to help.)

The Louisiana Purchase is an infamous deal made by Thomas Jefferson that doubled the size of the United States. Part, if not all, of some states were founded from this decision. The people that believe the Louisiana Purchase was so great was because doubling the country by buying land for only three cents per acre was one of the greatest deals in history.

Therefore, the immense amount of land gained for such a small price (in comparison), is the reason some believed that the Louisiana Purchase was the best thing Jefferson ever accomplished.
