Thomas Jefferson believed that the federal government was limited to the powers explicitly listed in the Constitution. Which best describes Alexander Hamilton’s view of this issue?

Hamilton supported a broad, or loose, interpretation of the Constitution. He believed the federal government could use powers that were not explicitly listed when they were necessary to carry out its constitutional responsibilities, such as creating a national bank. Jefferson favored a stricter interpretation, limiting the government to powers specifically stated in the Constitution, so C is correct.
