Federalists opposed the purchase as unconstitutional and feared it would weaken the other states. But the Democratic Republicans supported it, and the Senate approved the treaty. The Louisiana Purchase went into effect. In 1803, the United States took control of the vast lands west of the Mississippi. With one stroke, the size of the nation had almost doubled.
