Thomas Jefferson

Federalist
Loose interpretation of the Constitution (claims there are “implied powers” granted to the federal gov’t)
Powers may not explicitly be listed, but are still granted to the federal gov’t through the “elastic clause” in Article I
Let the federal gov’t stretch its powers in unforeseen circumstances (war, etc.)
Democratic Republicans
Strict interpretation of the Constitution (what it says is what it means)
Only powers explicitly listed are allowed to be claimed by the federal gov’t (preserves more power to the states)
