The correct answer is "strictly limit the power of government."
Madison and the other framers realized that the role of the new Constitution was strictly limit the power of government.
During the Constitutional Convention held in Philadelphia Pennsylvania during the summer of 1787, Federalists, led by prominent Americans such as Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay, supported the idea of a strong central government for the United States. On the other hand, Antifederalists such as Thomas Jefferson and Samuel Adams did not support that way of thinking. They believed in a simpler form of government in which the citizens had natural rights.
The United States founding fathers had many differences during the Constitutional Convention but they were humble and smart enough to debate, listen to each other's arguments, and negotiate to allow the best interests of the country.
When trying to ratify the Constitution by the states, James Madison drafted the Bill of Rights, which is the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution.
