During Monroe's term as president, the Supreme Court did not specifically expand the power of the federal government in the ways mentioned in your options. However, there were significant Supreme Court decisions that expanded the power of the federal government in other areas:
1. McCulloch v. Maryland (1819): The Supreme Court ruled that Congress had the power to establish a national bank, and that individual states could not tax the bank. This decision affirmed the supremacy of federal laws over state laws and expanded the power of the federal government.
2. Gibbons v. Ogden (1824): The Supreme Court held that only the federal government had the power to regulate interstate commerce. This decision broadened the federal government's authority to regulate economic activity.
3. Worcester v. Georgia (1832): The Supreme Court ruled that the state of Georgia could not enforce laws within Native American territories. This decision affirmed the federal government's authority over Native American affairs and expanded its power in that regard.
It is important to note that during this time, the theme of expanding federal power was pervasive in general, with policies such as the Monroe Doctrine asserting US influence in the Western Hemisphere. However, it was not specifically related to the Supreme Court expanding federal power to abolish slavery, acquire land in Central America, or settle disputes over sectionalism.
