<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.
