APUSH 11-2

Jefferson's greatest concern about purchasing Louisiana was

• whether it was in America's interest to acquire such a vast territory
• whether the cost was excessive for his frugal, small-government philosophy
• how to defend and govern the territory once it was part of the United States
• whether the purchase was permissible under the Constitution

Although greatly weakened after Jefferson's election, the Federalist party's philosophy continued to have great influence through

• the propaganda efforts of Federalist agitators
• the Federalist control of the the US Senate
• the Federalist Supreme Court rulings of John Marshall
• Federalist sympathies within the US army and navy

The Republicans' failure to impeach Supreme Court Justice Samuel Chase established the principle that

• the deliberations of Supreme Court justices were absolutely confidential
• presidents could appoint but not remove Supreme Court justices
• impeachment should not be used as a political weapon to overturn Supreme Court decisions
• the constitutional power of impeachment was almost impossible to carry out.

A key event that forced Napoleon to abandon his dreams of a French New World empire and instead sell Louisiana to the United States was

• a successful slave revolt that overthrew French rule in Santo Domingo
• the widespread Spanish rebellion against French imperial rule
• his army's defeat and retreat amidst the winter snows of Russia
• the growing American military threat to seize New Orleans by force

Which of the following was NOT among the consequences of the Louisiana Purchase

• the geographical and scientific discoveries of the Lewis and Clark expedition
• the weakening of the power of the presidency in foreign affairs
• the precedent of incorporating foreign territory and populations into the United States through peaceful purchase
• the pursuit of isolationism as America's primary foreign policy outlook

Jefferson's Embargo Act provided that

• American goods could be carried only in American ships
• America would sell no military supplies to either warring nation, Britain or France
• America would trade only with the neutral nations of Europe
• America would prohibit all foreign trade

A crucial foreign policy goal for many war hawks in the War of 1812 was the

• end of all Spanish colonization in the Americas
• capture and annexation of Canada
• conquest and settlement of Texas
• conquest of Spanish Florida

Besides creating a pan-Indian military alliance against white expansion, Tecumseh and Tenskwatawa (the Prophet) urged American Indians to

• resist the whites' culture and alcohol and revive traditional Indian cultures
• demonstrate their legal ownership of the lands that whites were intruding upon
• adopt the whites' culture and technology as a way of resisting their further expansion
• declare independence and form an alliance with Spain

President Madison's primary goal in asking Congress to declare war against Britain in 1812 was to

• restore confidence in America's republican experiment by fighting against British disrespect for American rights
• halt Tecumseh's successful Indian revolt and alliance with the British
• conquer Canada and incorporate it into the United States
• end the British practice of impressing American seamen into the British navy
