Why did doubting thomas get his name?
Doubting Thomas is so called because unlike the other apostles, he refused to believe Jesus had risen from the dead without solid proof in front of him own eyes. He could not have faith with out proof. Jesus appeared to some of the disciples, but Thomas was not with them. When the other disciples told him what had happened he rebuked them and said " Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it." (John 20:25) Eight days later Jesus appeared to the disciples again and this time Thomas was with them. He stood among them and said "Peace be with you" and then turning to Thomas he said, "Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Doubt no longer but believe" (John 20:26-29). Thomas then said that because he has seen he could believe. Jesus said to him "You believe because you can see me. Happy are those who have not seen and yet believe".
This is where the name Doubting Thomas comes from.

How did the strict constructionist view the elastic clause?
Strict constructionists view the elastic clause, or the Necessary and Proper Clause, with skepticism, believing that it should be interpreted narrowly. They argue that the federal government should only exercise powers explicitly granted by the Constitution, avoiding any expansion of federal authority through broad interpretations of the elastic clause. This perspective emphasizes a limited government and a strict adherence to the Constitution's text to prevent overreach. Consequently, strict constructionists advocate for a clear distinction between state and federal powers, ensuring states retain significant authority.
How did Jefferson end up modifying some of his Republican beliefs?
Strict Constructionism= he more loosly accepted the constitution (example; Louisianna purchase was not consitutional so he made an amendment to the constitution to make it constitutional)
Federal Government= he gave the federal gov. more say over states rights (example; embargo act, no states could trade with outside countries, federal law over all states)
Militarism= Jefferson hated militaries so he greatly reduced the land army to a small police force and the American navy to a "Mosquito fleet" of small gunboats. this was very bad for US because when war of 1812 came they had a very bad defence force. Instead of strengthening the navy when tentions arised Jefferson passed the Embargo Act of 1807 restricting trade with outside nations.
