The Supreme Court used a loose construction approach when interpreting the Constitution to uphold a law that was not explicitly outlined in the document.
Loose constuction.
It's your interpretation of the constitution. The philosophy that allows narrow constitutional interpretation is called strict construction and the philosophy of broad constitutional interpretation is called loose construction. Thomas Jefferson and James Madison favored the strict constructions, and Alexander Hamilton favored the loose construction.
Loose construction-means that the federal government can take reasonable actions that the constitution does not specifically forbidStrict construction- people who favor strict constitution think that that federal government should do only what the constitution specifically says it can do The Loose Construction Theory is when federalists interpret the Constitution into things that are in favor of a stronger national government. There are limitations involved.
No that is false. It is an example of loose construction.
its easier to ask what they didnt disagree about (; but they isagreed about the national bank mostly. Jeffeson declaredit unconstitutional, buyt Washington went for it. Jefferson was a Democratic- Republican and Hamilton was a Federalist, so they did not see eye to eye on most things.
A strict interpretation of the Constitution states that the government of the United States holds only those powers specifically granted to it by the Constitution. A loose interpretation of the Constitution posits that the government of the United States hold all powers that are not specifically denied to it by the Constitution.
Strict construction is a legal philosophy of judicial interpretation in which the original intent of the constitution holds that the Constitution means exactly what it says, and thus, is not open to interpretation or inference. This legal philosophy is sometimes called "judicial conservatism." In addition, strict constructionalism stemmed from Thomas Jefferson and other anti-federalists, who believed that since the United States government's powers are derived from the consent of the governed then the people or the States should restrict the Supreme Court's power. In other words, a judge should strictly look at the constitution and if it does not answer the problem at hand, then it should be up to the states to decide. Loose construction is based on the idea that the Founding Fathers could not have foreseen what the world would be like in the 21st Century, and that the Constitution must thus be interpreted in light of historic and societal change. Loose constructionism is sometimes called "judicial liberalism."
he wanted rich, well-educated people to rule and he was a strict constructionist which meant that he wanted rules to stick to the constitution. The elastic clause is an amendment that says people can add whatever rules they think are necessary for the country. Jefferson and the other members of the democratic-republican party. They favored strict construction, a weak central government, low tarrifs (tax) and low spending. He imagined America to be made of small farms. on the other hand, the federalists favored loose construction, high taxes, a strong central government, and buildings and industry.
Strict construction meant that those interpreting it thought that that the government should only have powers that were expressly stated in the constitution. Like, it shouldn't stretch the limits or try to do things that the constitution didn't say specifically were ok to do.
They were strict constructionist which means they took the constitution literally word for word. While others took the constitution loosely and were known as loose constructionists.
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.
