the nation? Who won/lost the conflict?
2.How were the negotiations for the Louisiana Purchase conducted, and what were the terms agreed on? What were the reasons behind Jefferson’s reservations over the
purchase of Louisiana, and how was he able to reason these doubts away?

federal court system, and how did the case of Marbury v. Madison fit into the controversy? What method did Jefferson employ to bring the judiciary under Republican
