Thomas Jefferson thought the idea of implied powers because?
the Louisiana purchase was vital towards the expansion of the US so Jefferson used the elastic clause as justification for his purchase because a president doesn't have the right purchase territory. The elastic clause is pretty much implied powers. However, Jefferson was a man of his word and a man of the Constitution so it was debatable. But in the end his choice led to success for the US so its disregarded now. Source: I did a research paper on it
