Best Answer

he wanted rich, well-educated people to rule and he was a strict constructionist which meant that he wanted rules to stick to the constitution. The elastic clause is an amendment that says people can add whatever rules they think are necessary for the country. Jefferson and the other members of the democratic-republican party. They favored strict construction, a weak central government, low tarrifs (tax) and low spending. He imagined America to be made of small farms. on the other hand, the federalists favored loose construction, high taxes, a strong central government, and buildings and industry.
