In a strict interpretation of the Constitution the federal government has only what power?

The federal government has only the power to do exactly as the Constitution says. In George Washington's Presidency Alexander Hamilton who believed in loose construction believed that because the Constitution did not say that creating a national bank was illegal, then it could be done. Thomas Jefferson a believer of a strict interpretation believed that if it was not said in the Constitution that the Federal Government could make a National Bank then it is not allowed. The idea of strict and loose interpretation is fought about even to this day.

Describe the major events and their significance of the Hoover administration?

The most significant event was the Great Depression. Banks failed and unemployment skyrocketed. Hoover was a firm believer in "laissez-faire". It was the idea that government should have no involvement with the economy, and that it would eventually right itself. Because of the devastating effects of the Depression, most of the public disagreed with him. Everyone blamed Hoover for their misfortune. The next election, Roosevelt won handily, promising a "New Deal" for Americans. The Depression led to multiple government programs to help jump start the economy. The country went in debt to create the programs, such as Social Security, and the government has never stopped adding programs for the American people. It's important to note that The Depression ended because of World War II, not because of Roosevelt's "New Deal".
