1. How did Jefferson's philosophy shape policy toward public expenditures, the judiciary, and Louisiana? Jefferson served for more than twenty years as the president of the American Philosophical Society. Jefferson brought with set of ideas about the need and importance for tightly controlled central government, payment of the national debt, and downsizing the American military. When offered the chance to buy Louisiana, an action not specified in the Constitution, Jefferson eagerly jumped at the chance to rid the New World of France. He justified the purchase by stating the new land doubled the land available for the union. His sponsorship of the Lewis and Clark expedition exemplified his interest in science and his hope for practical results from science.

Baltimore- the 1833 Supreme Court decision holding that the bill of rights restrained only the national government, not the states and cities. Gitlow v. New York- Incorporated 1st Amendment right of Free Speech to the states, using the 14th Amendment. This case started the incorporation doctrine, the legal concept under which the SC has nationalized the bill of rights by making most of its provisions applicable to the states through the 14th Amendment. Explain the importance of the 14th Amendment to the legal guarantees of the freedoms in the Bill of Rights.
