For you to consult Primary sources , You need to consult the papers and publications by James Madison. I'd start with an old style book, a biography.to give you his life and background. Then as he was a President look at materials that might be available on line from the Library of Congress and the National Archives. Some of his materials in them may have been digitized and on line.
Other mateerials would be Federialist Papers which I belive he helped write and materials written about him by contempery people. I hope you can take a bit of advice from a OLD man.

Try some official government web sites. All of them end in .gov.
Here is a site I found when I entered primary sources James Madison.
history.enotes.com/shaping-america-primary-sources/madison-james This isn't letting me enter the whole web site address. Hope you can find this.

Is the teacher requiring online sources? I know it's old school these days, but you can likely get much better and more complete info by running down to your local library.
