“We the knights, citizens, and burgesses of the Commons House in Parliament find, to the great grief of our hearts, that the designs of the priests and the Jesuits, and other adherents to Rome, have of late been more boldly and more frequently put in practice, to the undermining and danger of the ruin of the true reformed Protestant religion in his majesty’s dominions. We also find that there have been, and have just cause to suspect that there still are, even during this sitting in Parliament, endeavours to subvert the fundamental laws of England and Ireland, and to introduce the exercise of an arbitrary and tyrannical government.
And we find that diverse innovations and superstitions have been brought into the church, multitudes driven out of his majesty’s dominions, jealousies raised between the king and his people, a popish army raised in Ireland, and armies brought into the heart of this kingdom. All to the hazard of his majesty’s royal person, the consumption of the revenue of the crown, and treasure of this kingdom. And lastly, we find that endeavours have been and are used to bring the English army into conflict with this Parliament. . . . Therefore we thought it good to join ourselves in a declaration of our united affections and resolutions, and to make this ensuing Protestation.
THE PROTESTATION:
I, , in the presence of Almighty God promise, vow, and protest, to maintain and defend, as far as lawfully I may with my Life, Power, and Estate, the true Reformed Protestant Religion, expressed in the Doctrine of the Church of England against all Popery and Popish Innovations according to the duty of my Allegiance to His Majesty’s Royal Person, Honour and Estate.”

Ответ:
1. Why was New Orleans "the one single spot" that made its possessor the "natural enemy" of the United States?
New Orleans was the center for trading up and down the Mississippi River so, whoever controlled the port controlled the main channel for trade in the region. The US preferred Spain to be the country who owned it because they were weaker and easier to negotiate with than the French, but France took over the area in 1801.
2. How were the negotiations for the Louisiana Purchase conducted and what were the agreed upon terms?
President Jefferson sent Robert Livingston to France and offer to buy the port of New Orleans. He met with Napoleon's foreign minister Talleyrand and made an offer to purchase the port for 2 million dollars. Since Napoleon needed money to fund his campaign he decided to offer the entire Louisiana territory up for sale instead. President Jefferson sent James Monroe to join Livingston and brought a new offer: 10 million dollars for New Orleans and Florida. Finally Livingston and Monroe decided to offer Napoleon 15 million dollars for the entire Louisiana territory. The French accepted and the US acquired a huge piece of land.
3. How did Jefferson rationalize his obvious discomfort with his Constitutional authority and the needs to accomplish his goal of acquiring Louisiana?
Technically it was not constitutional for the president to buy land so Jefferson needed the approval of Congress in order to ratify the purchase. He argued that acquiring the territory was their right and would allow the country to grow and stretch from east to west. One of his arguments was that the purchase not only gave them New Orleans, but would also give them the opportunity to find a new water route that crossed the continent from east to west.
4. How did the records kept by Lewis and Clark reflect the purpose of their expedition?
In May 1804 Jefferson sent out Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to map the territory and go all the way to the Pacific Coast. Lewis and Clark kept a strict written record of their findings and also collected samples of plant and animal species they found. These records were evidence of the task they had set out to accomplish.
5. What was the expedition's purpose and what did it accomplish?
The expedition's main goal was to try and find a river that crossed the country from east to west. During their journey they were also charged with the task of mapping the land and recording animal and plant species they discovered. The expedition did not find a waterway that crossed from east to west, but they did come back with extensive knowledge of the flora, fauna and peoples of the west.
