What exactly was a Federalists point of view Were they more like Democrats or Republicans Did they support the constitution?
A Federalist was someone who believed in a strong central government. Federalists cannot really be compared to either Democrats or Republicans; Federalists were their own political party. However, since they opposed the Democratic-Republican party (later to become the Democratic party), they could possibly be associated more with Republicans, in that regard. They did support the Constitution, and favored a loose view of it, meaning that they used such devices as the Elastic Clause to give the central government more power than what is strictly stated in the Constitution.
What is loose construction?
I got this out of my social studies notebook: (not exactly word for word) "loose construction" is when federalists interpert the Constitution into things that are FOR a stronger National Government. by the way federalists are an organized group of people who are in favor of a strong National government.
In a strict interpretation of the Constitution the federal government has only what power?
The federal government has only the power to do exactly as the Constitution says. In George Washington's Presidency Alexander Hamilton who believed in loose construction believed that because the Constitution did not say that creating a national bank was illegal, then it could be done. Thomas Jefferson a believer of a strict interpretation believed that if it was not said in the Constitution that the Federal Government could make a National Bank then it is not allowed. The idea of strict and loose interpretation is fought about even to this day.

What does a strict constructionist mean?
Strict construction is a legal philosophy of judicial interpretation in which the original intent of the constitution holds that the Constitution means exactly what it says, and thus, is not open to interpretation or inference. This legal philosophy is sometimes called "judicial conservatism." In addition, strict constructionalism stemmed from Thomas Jefferson and other anti-federalists, who believed that since the United States government's powers are derived from the consent of the governed then the people or the States should restrict the Supreme Court's power. In other words, a judge should strictly look at the constitution and if it does not answer the problem at hand, then it should be up to the states to decide.
