Strict interpretation of the Constitution.

Jefferson argued against the establishment of a national bank because according to a strict reading or interpretation of the Constitution, no such entity was stipulated in the document.

Hamilton favored a loose interpretation of the Constitution - - in other words, that the Constitution allows for anything that is not strictly forbidden in what it has expressly stated.
