I got this out of my social studies notebook: (not exactly word for word) "loose construction" is when federalists interpert the Constitution into things that are FOR a stronger National Government. by the way federalists are an organized group of people who are in favor of a strong National government.
Loose constructionism is where you can do something if the Constitution doesn't specifically say that you can't do it.
On the other hand, strict constructionism is where you can only do what the Constitution says, and nothing else.
Loose construction states if something is not in the U.S. constitution then it doesn't mean you can't do it. nope
That you believe you can do anything that the constitution does not specifically forbid.
limits the Federal government to powers the Constitution specifically delegated to it.
