Failure to consult the Senate

Explanation:

The Louisiana purchase was done by the Executive branch without the consent of Congress. This was problematic for two reasons. One is the lack of treaty ratification and two, is that the President does not have the power of the purse. So, spending money for expand the country should have been run by Congress.
