Abstract: In this paper we will prove some cases of the Fontaine-Mazur conjecture. Let $ p$ be an odd prime and let $ G_{\mathbb{Q},\{p\}}$ be the Galois group over $ \mathbb{Q}$ of the maximal unramified-outside-$ p$ extension of $ \mathbb{Q}$. We show that under certain hypotheses, the universal deformation of the action of $ G_{\mathbb{Q},\{p\}}$ on the $ 2$-torsion of an elliptic curve defined over $ \mathbb{Q}$ has finite image. We compute the associated universal deformation ring, and we show in the process that $ \hat{S}_4$ caps $ \mathbb{Q}$ for the prime $ 2$, where $ \hat{S}_4$ is the double cover of $ S_4$ whose Sylow $ 2$-subgroups are generalized quaternion groups.
