Implied Powers
the powers of the federal government are explicitly granted by the constitution
The Democratic political party was formed to promote a loose construction of the Constitution and a strong central government. The Democratic Party believes the Constitution is only a guideline.
There are many powers not given to the Federal government in the Constitution. Specifically it states that any power not specifically granted to the government will be reserved for the States (interpreted as for the people).
The power to coin money.
No, actually the reverse. The Constitution states that all powers not specifically granted to the Federal Government are reserved for the state.
Loose construction-means that the federal government can take reasonable actions that the constitution does not specifically forbidStrict construction- people who favor strict constitution think that that federal government should do only what the constitution specifically says it can do The Loose Construction Theory is when federalists interpret the Constitution into things that are in favor of a stronger national government. There are limitations involved.
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.
Strict construction meant that those interpreting it thought that that the government should only have powers that were expressly stated in the constitution. Like, it shouldn't stretch the limits or try to do things that the constitution didn't say specifically were ok to do.
A strict interpretation of the Constitution states that the government of the United States holds only those powers specifically granted to it by the Constitution. A loose interpretation of the Constitution posits that the government of the United States hold all powers that are not specifically denied to it by the Constitution.
Strict Construction- Philosophy of narrowly interpreting the Constitution; holds that the government can only do what the Constitution specifically allows.Added: And Liberal constructionism holds that the Constitution is an ever-evolvingdocument subject to new interpretation and meaning as society evolves and values change.
That person would have a 'strict' construction view of the Constitution. The other view is termed a 'loose' construction. The loose view believes if the Constitution doesn't prohibit the act (or law) it is okay.
Implied powers are powers not specifically listed in the Constitution of the United States, but which the national government needs in order to carry out the expressed (strict) powers listed in the Constitution. Loose Construction is basically the same thing. A loose or liberal interpretation of the Constitution allows for the expansion of federal powers beyond those specifically listed in the Constitution.
The Constitution limits the power of government by specifically listing powers it does and does not have.
It specifically states what powers the government has. (NovaNet)
