the one that pushed for a strong republic but did not want to model the system after the british was: James Madison Unlike the british system that put the highest power to the hands of its King, James madison wanted the country to be controlled by its own people through democratic process.

James Madison is the 4th US president and the "Father of the Constitution" who pushed a strong republic system. James Madison applied a republican government which means that the voice of the people is given much importance. It is somehow similar to democracy.
