Answer:

It violated his strict interpretation of the Constitution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jefferson believed that as the President of the United States he only had the powers given to him by the Constitution; however, by buying land in the Louisiana Purchase, people believed that Jefferson was overstepping his Constitutional authority as the president.
