Jefferson, an anti-Federalist, opposed the Constitution, arguing that it will destroy the unalienable rights of man. Federalists interpreted the Constitution with a loose construction, meaning that the government should be allowed to exercise many implied powers for the public good (Hamilton). The National Bank, created by Hamilton, was an example of implementing a loose construction because the Constitution did not specifically mentioned whether the government was allowed to do so. The National Bank provided a safe place for people to deposit money and loans for the states and the government to pay off debts. Democratic-Republicans believed that those implied powers belong to the states or to the people to decide whether laws should be made to prohibit something (Jefferson). The state governments can provide laws that the federal government did not, but those laws are exclusive to the certain states. The federal government still the power to override the state's legislations if the laws affect other
