I know there are already posts about this DBQ and I have looked at them, but I'm looking for more help towards creating a thesis statement rather than finding how Jefferson and Madison reflected both strict and loose constructionism
With respect to the federal Constitution, the Jeffersonian Republicans are usually characterized as strict constructionists who were opposed to the broad constructionism of the Federalists. To what extent was this characterization of the two parties accurate during the presidencies of Jefferson and Madison? (time frame of 1801-1817)
I don't mean to post about something that's already been answered and I'm sorry if it seems like I'm doing that, but I really just need help with the thesis. I have all the information I need, but I'm not sure which categories I should use for the essay. I was thinking about a paragraph about loose constructionism and a paragraph about strict constructionism, but I'm not sure if that's the best way to write it.
Any help would be appreciated!
