Detailed explanation-1: -Strict construction refers to a philosophy of constitutional interpretation that holds that the Constitution should be interpreted and applied based on a precise reading of the text and the text alone.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Supreme Court of India has the final authority to interpret the Constitution of India.
Detailed explanation-3: -Alexander Hamilton and his followers favored a loose interpretation of the Constitution, which meant they believed that the document permitted everything that it did not expressly forbid. This contrasted sharply with Thomas Jefferson’s strict interpretation.
