How does Madison continue to develop the idea he introduced earlier regarding the “just right” proportion of representatives to citizens or constituents?

Answer:

B

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

James Madison claimed that by having larger electors, it tends to lead to representatives having little familiarity relatively to their local issues and lesser interests and at the same time, having smaller electors tend to lead to representatives having more than a necessary interest in their local issues, but lesser interest in the national interest at large.

He then concluded that if there is a balance proportion of representatives, a federal Constitution becomes most ideal as it satisfies the interests of all levels of government which include national, state, and local government.
