The elastic clause and the necessary and the proper clause?

The ''elastic clause" of congress would be the last paragraph in the 8th section of the constitution.It says:"To make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers vested by this constitution in the government of the united states,or in any department or officer thereof." This was often used by the "loose constructionists" or the federalists to do something not in the constitution, like create a national bank. The democratic-republicans were called ''strict constructionists" because they said the government could only create things like a bank if it was in the constitution.
