Answer:

Madison wanted a large government that could rule over a vast area. By attacking democracy, Madison fought for the much larger, more centralized, and more powerful government that we have now.

Step-by-step explanation:

Madison resisted extreme centralism with his Bill of Rights, Virginia Resolution, and opposition to Hamilton. Similarly, when he became President, Madison saw the need for a national bank and supported its establishment, enlarged government powers during the war, and took a firm federal stance in the face of treason and sedition.
