John Marshall had a loose interpretation of the Constitution while Thomas Jefferson supposedly had a strict interpretation of it. John Marshall strongly believed in the elastic clause (the necessary and proper clause) which meant: "The Congress shall have Power - To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof". So he thought that if a law was needed, then it could be added and adjusted into the Constitution and one didn't have to stick to the exact words of the Constitution. Thomas Jefferson supposedly had a strict construction of the Constitution, but his actions such as the Louisiana Purchase and the Embargo Act showed loose interpretations because neither one of those were written in the Constitution. He very rarely showed a strict interpretation where he stuck directly to the Constitution, so they really weren't that different in views even though in titles they were.

Loose construction-means that the federal government can take reasonable actions that the constitution does not specifically forbidStrict construction- people who favor strict constitution think that that federal government should do only what the constitution specifically says it can do The Loose Construction Theory is when federalists interpret the Constitution into things that are in favor of a stronger national government. There are limitations involved.

Strict construction meant that those interpreting it thought that that the government should only have powers that were expressly stated in the constitution. Like, it shouldn't stretch the limits or try to do things that the constitution didn't say specifically were ok to do.
The strict constructionists wants to follow the Constitution down to the letter, in accordance with what the founding meant the terms to mean. The loose constructionists want to incorporate changes to society into the interpretation of the Constitution.
