Answer: Strict Construction

Explanation: This answer is kind of obvious. A tariff is a tax on imported goods, so it has nothing to do with the Constitution. Loose Construction is what Federalists/Hamiltonians believed in, and ultimately what was Hamilton's case in having the national bank formed. Strict Construction was Jefferson & Madison's rebuttal to the National Bank, stating that because the National Bank was not stated in the Constitution, Hamilton couldn't fund/found the bank.
