~There was many people that opposed this which then created 2 sides:
      -Anti-Federalist: they believed that Congress should be able to exercise only expressed powers and only the completely necessary implied powers.
    -Federalist: They fought to adopt a constitution for their country.
~Most of the conflicts between the Anti-Federalist and Federalist was debating about how much power the Congress should have
~The strict constructionist were backed up by Thomas Jefferson (Anti-Federalist). They wanted the states to keep as much power as they can.
      -"That government is the best which governs least"
~The liberal constructionist were led by Alexander Hamilton (Federalist). This constitution would then bring a broad construction of the powers given to Congress. 
      -They believed that the government needed "an energetic government"
-Eventually the Federalists won this debate. ]]> 2018-10-23 21:34:04 UTC https://padlet.com/341562/2ujcr81s65ua/wish/296205854 341562 https://padlet.com/341562/2ujcr81s65ua/wish/296206205 - Expressed Powers: explicitly, in its specific wording
