There is no choice for none of the above, so I will have to scribble my answers on the side of the page.
The mainsignificence of the LA purchacse was that it extened the United State "from sea to shining sea". As Lewis and Clark showed, by traveling through Louisiana you could get to the Pacific Ocean.
A strong federal government could not exist at that time over the huge area that the Louisiana Purchase gave to the United States.
You have to remember the communication problems they had then. With the lack of commnication, states had to take more power and make more decisions for themselves.

I also think B & B are your answers... and you are correct, it only doubled the size of the US at that time... Lewis and Clark were hired to map it out for the Govt at that time... 1803.
