Analyze the Ways in ââ¬ÅJeffersonian Democracyââ¬Â
During Jeffersons Presidency two things changed Jeffersonian land, the War of 1812 contributed because until the fight hawks and a growing desire to obtain Florida and Canada Jefferson did non lack to get involved in struggle with Europe, and the Louisiana acquire also changed his views because he was very Constitutional and when the conformity for the Louisiana secure was presented it was argued to be Constitutional. Americans in the South wanted to gain Florida and the people in the North wanted Canada. Jefferson didnt want to just invade and fuck off these territories.With the attacks from Natives across the Florida border in the South and the issue of impressment it was austere not to go to war. Jefferson did not want to go to war with capital Britain. A group called the war hawks was born, men who were eager to go to war and get territory. After persuading Jefferson agreed to go to war with Great Britain, and because Spain and Britain were consort they could claim Flo rida as well. The reason this changed his democracy is he did not want to go to war with European nations, or at all I believe, but he gave in and went to war anyway because of pressure from the war hawks.Another factor in the changing of Jeffersonian Democracy was the Louisiana Purchase. Robert Livingston and crowd Monroe were sent to France to discuss a treaty with Napoleon. When they returned they had purchased the Louisiana Territory piss Napoleon. Jefferson was both pleased and embarrassed. He was glad to have the territory, but cosmos constitutional as he was, he was not sure it was Constitutional, until his advisors assured him that it fell under his ability to make treaties.This changed his view because it had changed him to be slight strict constitutionally and he was already exploring the territory (and beyond) before the treaty was already made. Jefferson went through a lot of all the samets that changed his view of Democracy and how he ran the nation, but two big o nes were the War of 1812, because he went to war even though he personally didnt want to, and the Louisiana Purchase, because of his judgement that the Federal government only had powers expressed in the Constitution.
