How to properly cite the Louisiana Purchase Treaty?

balala

I am a student currently writing about the Louisiana purchase. I have to make an annotated bibliography, and I want to use the official Louisiana purchase treaty as a primary source. However, I have no idea how to cite it in the first place.

How do I cite the Louisiana Purchase Treaty? Despite researching on how to cite a treaty, I remain confused on how to cite that specific treaty in MLA format. Please help, I very much do not go on these websites to ask questions, but this is urgent for my paper. Thank you.

    If you are referring to the treaty with the round silver metal skippet and contains Bonaparte's signature, the citation is:

    • Treaty for the Cession of Louisiana between the United States and France, April 30, 1803 Treaty Series 86 EX (Exchange File); Perfected Treaties, 1776-1945; General Records of the United States Government, Record Group 11; National Archives, Washington, DC.

    On the other hand, if you are referring to the treaty without the metal skippet and containing the signatures of Robert Livingston and Jams Monroe, the citation is:

    • Treaty for the Cession of Louisiana between the United States and France, April 30, 1803 Treaty Series 86 AO (American Original File); Perfected Treaties, 1776-1945; General Records of the United States Government, Record Group 11; National Archives, Washington, DC.
