I'd be very interested to know where Jefferson says he's a 'strict constructionist.'

Jefferson was an intellectual. If he were alive today, his views would likely be radically different from the views he held even at the end of his life in 1826. Just to give an obvious example: given the reality of today, he probably wouldn't want the nation to rely on an agrarian economy.
