271 Words2 Pages
When it comes to interpreting the Constitution there are two main school of thoughts. While the “Strict interpretation” school of thought interprets the Constitution as black and white the ladder which is called “Loose interpretation” interprets the Constitution in a more open-ended way. These two school of thoughts originated, due to Alexander Hamilton’s attempt to create a national bank. Strict Interpretation was the result of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison (Anti-Federalist) stating that the Constitution did not state that a National Bank was allowed to be created. While “Loose interpretation” was a result of Alexander Hamilton (Federalist) stating that Constitution had implied powers such as allowing the government to regulate money.
