-STRICT: led by Thomas Jefferson, argued that Congress should only be able to exercise: its expressed powers and those implied powers absolutely necessary to carry out those expressed powers.
LIBERAL: led by Alexander Hamilton, favored a liberal interpretation of the constitution, a broad interpretation of the powers given to congress.
