Describe the differences between loose constructionists and strict constructionists.

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.

Loose is the opposite. Those that interpreted the constitution loosely said that the government could use "implied" powers, that weren't necessarily written word for word in the constitution. These people wanted a stronger national government with more power.
