- opposition - make nat'l government too strong

strict interpretation - Constitution didn't give this power to Federal government - if not specifically stated, not allowed

loose interpretation - "necessary and proper" clause (elastic clause) - gave government the right to do anything that was "necessary and proper"  - more power to Federal government

national bank - started this debate

Federalists - Hamilton

Democratic Republicans - Jefferson

key issue was power and size of the federal government as opposed to state/local gov't

Fed - wanted a strong national gover't; loose interpretation of constitution

Dem-Rep. - stronger state goverment - strict interpretation of Constitution
