He saw it as a way to manage the country's finances, regulate currency, and promote economic growth.

Neutrality
-
Financial support only
-

Correct Answer
A. NeutralityExplanation
The official American response to the French Revolution was neutrality. This means that the United States did not take a side in the conflict between the French revolutionaries and the monarchy. Instead, they chose to remain impartial and not get involved in the internal affairs of France. This decision was likely influenced by the desire to avoid being dragged into another costly war, as well as the belief in the principles of non-interference and self-determination.Rate this question:

As a result of the Louisiana Purchase, the United States
-
Decentralized its government
-
Doubled in size
-
Threatened Spain
-
Alienated French allies
Correct Answer
A. Doubled in sizeExplanation
The correct answer is "doubled in size". The Louisiana Purchase refers to the acquisition of a large territory from France by the United States in 1803. This territory, which stretched from the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains, effectively doubled the size of the United States. This expansion had significant implications for the country, including increased land for settlement and resources, as well as furthering the idea of manifest destiny.Rate this question:

All these led to the War of 1812 EXCEPT
-
Midnight judges
-
The Chesapeake incident
-
British-armed Native Americans
-
British impressment of Americans
Correct Answer
A. Midnight judgesExplanation
The War of 1812 was primarily caused by the British impressment of Americans, the Chesapeake incident, and the support of British-armed Native Americans. The appointment of midnight judges, however, was not a direct cause of the war. The term "midnight judges" refers to a group of judges appointed by President John Adams late at night before he left office. While this event did contribute to political tensions between the Federalists and the Democratic-Republicans, it did not directly lead to the outbreak of the War of 1812.Rate this question:
