Question:

Explain the difference between "strict" and "loose" constructionists?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Strict constructionist feel that the Constitution only allowed what it specified. Loose constructionist feel that what the Constitution did not bar, was permitted.

Even today, stricters will often took to apply judicial rulings along the lines of the text or original meaning of the Constitution. While loosers are often more activist and feel that Constitution should fit changing opinions.
