the powers of the federal government are explicitly granted by the constitution
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.

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 federalists were those in the colonies that believed in a loose construction of the United States' Constitution. This group felt that with a stricter constitution their rights and liberties would be jeopardized and all power would lie within the government.
