No. They were both strict constructionists. In fact, when Napoleon offered the Louisiana Purchase to the United States in 1803, Jefferson nearly said no because the Constitution says nothing about allowing the president to accept land from other countries. Alexander Hamilton - a loose constructionist - encouraged him to accept it.
