Amending the Constitution

Question 10 • FL-2106010-M/J Civics

Strict constructionists and loose constructionists disagree most on which of the following topics?

Answer
A
presidential succession
B
the allotment of state and local powers
C
the allotment of federal and state powers
D
the implementation of government-run health care

Explanation

Strict and loose constructionists disagree about how broadly to interpret the Constitution’s grants of power to the federal government. Strict constructionists favor a narrow reading, while loose constructionists allow broader implied powers. Their disagreement therefore concerns the allotment of federal and state powers, not presidential succession or state and local powers.
