"John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry (also known as John Brown's raid or The raid on Harper's Ferry)[2] was an effort by armed abolitionist John Brown to initiate an armed slave revolt in 1859 by taking over a United States arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia. Brown's party of 22[1] was defeated by a company of U.S. Marines, led by First Lieutenant Israel Greene.[3] Colonel Robert E. Lee was in overall command of the operation to retake the arsenal. John Brown had originally asked Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass, both of whom he had met in his transformative years as an abolitionist in Springfield, Massachusetts, to join him in his raid, but Tubman was prevented by illness and Douglass declined, as he believed Brown's plan would fail." -Wikipedia

Serjik [45]

<em>D. Supports the idea that the "elastic clause" allows powers not expressly denied to the federal government.​</em>

Explanation:

When the United States Constitution was ratified, people started using and interpreting it differently. Many people would say that things should not happen because it wasn't in the Constitution, while some people disagreed completely.

"Strict constructionists" had a very strict interpretation of the United States Constitution. They believed that nothing should really be up for debate and that laws should come off the Constitution word for word and how they were intended or written.

"Loose constructionists" believed the opposite. They had a very elastic interpretation of the United States Constitution, believing that things could be up for debate. Many of them supported the idea of the "elastic clause" and that it allows powers not expressly denied to the federal government.
