Based on the given excerpt, the statement that can be inferred about the effect the Louisiana Purchase would have on the United States is:
c. Because of the purchase of the territory Americans can now legally start settling regions in the west.
Explanation:
The excerpt mentions that the Louisiana Purchase doubled the size of the country and paved the way for Westward expansion beyond the Mississippi. Thus, it can be inferred that the purchase of the territory opened up opportunities for Americans to legally settle in the western regions.
The other options are not directly supported by the given information. There is no mention of the high cost of the purchase causing a struggle with public debt (option a). While the treaty may have eliminated the French threat against the United States (option b), it is not explicitly mentioned. Also, the ratification of the treaty by Congress does not necessarily confirm the power of presidents to purchase land (option d).
c. Because of the purchase of the territory, Americans can now legally start settling regions in the west.
This can be inferred from the excerpt's statement that the purchase "paved the way for Westward expansion beyond the Mississippi."
