Madison supported the separation of powers. He was the father of the constitution. He wanted to have a stronger government than provided by the articles of confederation. Opponents argued that a legislative body was more democratic. This refuted that position.

1. Supported the separation of powers. More simply put Legislative + Executive + Judicial = Tyranny.
2. Madison held these views because he opposed the British form of government.

Madison supported the separation of powers since he believed that if a person had all of the power - Legislative, Executive, and Judicial -, that person would be no more than a tyrant.
