Question: What political party did the person who brokered the purchase of Louisiana for the country where m&m chocolate comes from belong to?

The Louisiana Purchase occurred during the term of the third President of the United States, Thomas Jefferson. The Kingdom of France controlled the Louisiana territory from 1699 until it was ceded to Spain in 1762. In 1800, Napoleon, then the First Consul of the French Republic, hoping to re-establish an empire in North America, regained ownership of Louisiana. However, France's failure to put down the revolt in Saint - Domingue, coupled with the prospect of renewed warfare with the United Kingdom, prompted Napoleon to sell Louisiana to the United States to fund his military. The Americans originally sought to purchase only the port city of New Orleans and its adjacent coastal lands, but quickly accepted the bargain. Before the purchase was finalized, the decision faced Federalist Party opposition; they argued that it was unconstitutional to acquire any territory. Jefferson agreed that the U.S. Constitution did not contain explicit provisions for acquiring territory, but he asserted that his constitutional power to negotiate treaties was sufficient. <SEP> the top ten (eleven in season ten) toured at the end of every season. in the season twelve tour a semi-finalist who won a sing-off was also added to the tour. kellogg's pop-tarts was the sponsor for the first seven seasons, and guitar hero was added for the season seven tour. m&m's pretzel chocolate candies was a sponsor of the season nine tour. the season five tour was the most successful tour with gross of over $35 million. <SEP> in early 1995, mars ran a promotion in which consumers were invited to vote on which of blue, pink, or purple would replace the tan m&m's. blue was the winner with 54% of the votes. it replaced tan in late 1995. consumers could vote by calling 1 - 800 - fun - color. ads for the new blue colors featured a plain and an almond blue m&m character as red and yellow take notice of trying to do takes in the commercial by painting themselves blue where they appear on stage with b.b. king singing the blues, but the filmmakers had to cut the scene as they were not the real blue m&m's; another featured red and yellow holding their breath to look like the new blue m&m's, where steven weber sees the three m&m's, red, yellow, and blue; and one more featuring weber talking to the blue m&m if he had dived into the chocolate pool, but did not. <SEP> Monroe's second term marked the end of the Virginia Dynasty.
