Is it true jefferson's position favoring the Louisiana purchase is an example of strict construction of the constitution?
No that is false. It is an example of loose construction.
True or false Jefferson's position favoring the Louisiana purchase and example of loose construction of the constitution?
Absolutely not. The constitution contained no provision for expansion of the country and the Louisiana Purchase has always been historically seen as a case where Jefferson overstepped his powers as President. Jefferson himself was conscious of this and even considered seeking a constitutional amendment to grant hims the authority for the purchase, but he had to abandon it when it became clear that an amendment couldn't be ratified before Napoleon changed his mind about selling Louisiana. So the Louisiana Purchase is an example of an act which goes far beyond anything that could be considered "strict construction."
