I did this one a month or so ago...Jeffersonian Republicans were strict constructionists in aspects of Jefferson dismantling the Navy and placing limitations on the military, Jefferson also upheld to Washington's two term policy of presidency, Madison's vetoing of the of the Internal Improvement Bill in 1817 shows he thought internal improvements by the federal government was against the Constitution. The buying of the Louisiana Purchase by Jefferson shows a loose constructionist view because he bought it without the Senate's approval. The Federalist party showed a strict constuctionist view when they required Congress to have two-thirds in order to pass things such as admissions of states and declarations of war. Hamilton's economic program was kept by Jefferson which gave the federal government the right to tax which is a loose view. The embargo shows Jefferson's loose view, too. in one of the documents Jefferson states that he feels the government needs to be flexible and change with the times. John Marshall supported the Elastic Clause which was definately a loose constructionist view because it allowed a flexible interpretation of the Constitution. In all, both parties showed loose and strict views in regards to the Constitution. :cool:
