Best Answer

The Louisiana Purchase. Jefferson (and many others) believed he, as president, lacked authority to make such a deal. The deal was made, through representatives, between Jefferson and Napoleon Bonaparte, who was, at the time, effectively the ruler of France. However, Jefferson's and others' belief that the Purchase was unconstitutional took a back seat to fears of European powers' (at the time, primarily France's) establishing colonies in North America.
