Answer:

A. strict constructionist

Step-by-step explanation:

A strict constructionist is one who believes that the Constitution is not, as in the past, condemned to be a rhetorical and strictly political document, but a legal document, of mandatory and binding provisions. In this way, the congress is obliged and limited to exercising only what the constitution determines.
