Which inference about the author’s opinion about James Madison is best supported by the passage below (paragraph 10)?

Madison was smart. He had graduated from college in two years and then gone into politics. He also had a “secret weapon” in his wife, the energetic and enormously popular Dolley Madison. As an active delegate to the Constitutional Convention in 1787, James Madison was the only one who thought to take note (thus providing our only record of how the Constitution came to be written). The wife of one of the other delegates called Madison a “gloomy stiff creature,” but others were kinder. Thomas Jefferson said that he knew of no man in all of America and Europe with more integrity or with “an abler head” than Madison.
