the united states has a special right to control all of north america.
the united states needs more land for its growing population.
the constitution doesnt give the federal government the power to add new lands.

Explanation:

1. The idea of a "special right to control all of North America" aligns with expansionist views that supported acquiring more territory, so this argument would be used by someone who approved of the Louisiana Purchase.
2. Needing more land for a growing population was a core practical reason for supporting territorial expansion, so this argument belongs with those who approved of the purchase.
3. Opponents of the purchase argued that the U.S. Constitution did not explicitly grant the federal government the power to acquire new territory, so this argument would be used by someone who disapproved of the purchase.

Answer:

• "The United States has a special right to control all of North America." → Approved of the Louisiana Purchase
• "The United States needs more land for its growing population." → Approved of the Louisiana Purchase
• "The Constitution doesn't give the Federal government the power to add new lands." → Disapproved of the Louisiana Purchase
