Strict constructionists believe that the Constitution should be interpreted literally and narrowly, adhering closely to its text and the original intentions of the framers. They argue that any powers not explicitly granted to the federal government should be reserved for the states. In contrast, liberal constructionists advocate for a broader interpretation, asserting that the Constitution is a living document that should evolve with societal changes and allow for implied powers. This perspective permits the federal government to take on a more active role in addressing contemporary issues.

Hamilton and other strict constructionists believed in a broad interpretation of the Constitution, arguing that Congress had the power to take actions that were reasonably implied from its expressly delegated powers. This meant that they believed in a loose interpretation of the necessary and proper clause, giving Congress expansive authority to carry out its functions.
Strict constructionists want Congress to use only expressed powers.
I think, they believe in having a broad construction of powers given to Congress. That's what I put haha.
Historically, the strict constructionists often found themselves at odds with the liberal constructionists regarding the interpretation of the U.S. Constitution. Generally, liberal constructionists won most of the significant battles, particularly during the New Deal era and in cases involving civil rights and federal power expansion. Landmark Supreme Court decisions, such as those affirming the constitutionality of federal legislation, often leaned towards a broader interpretation of the Constitution. This trend has shaped modern understandings of federal authority and individual rights.
