When the Ends Justify the Means: Thomas Jefferson and the Louisiana Purchase
The Louisiana Purchase was undoubtedly the single greatest achievement of Thomas Jefferson's presidency. Yet many critics have seen Jefferson's purchase of Louisiana as a \"sell out\" of his most cherished political principles—states' rights and strict constructionism. This paper argues that Jefferson desired to achieve a greater end in the case of the Louisiana Purchase—i.e., the survival of Republican government in the United States. Thus, Jefferson temporarily relented on the means for achieving Republican government—states' rights and strict constructionism—in order to take advantage of an extraordinary opportunity to secure the ends of Republicanism.
