This was often used by the "loose constructionists" or the federalists to do something not in the constitution, like create a national bank. The democratic-republicans were called ''strict constructionists" because they said the government could only create things like a bank if it was in the constitution.
National powers are called "federal powers."

A strict constructionist believes the Constitution should be interpreted narrowly, sticking to the original intent of the framers. In contrast, a liberal constructionist believes the Constitution should be interpreted broadly to adapt to changing times and new circumstances. Strict constructionists tend to emphasize literal readings of the Constitution, while liberal constructionists focus on the broader principles and values underlying it.
