Explanation:
just took the test
Former President James Madison is more likely to support the idea that a national government should be supreme over state governments.
James Madison was a huge proponent of the Federal government having more power than states and was one of the founders of the Democratic-Republican Party.
As a result of his influence:
- the Constitution - which gave the federal government more powers - was passed
- the Bill of Rights guaranteed the Federal government would protect people over states
Even though he had supported the federal government having more powers than the state government, Madison still believed that there should be limits to federal power and as President, refused to acknowledge the "implied powers" of the Federal government.
During his presidency, James Madison went to war with Britain and the much publicized victories of Andrew Jackson led to the Federalist party disappearing thereby cementing President Madison's view that the federal government should be supreme but with limits.
In conclusion, James Madison supported the need to have the Federal government more powerful than the states in order to preserve the union.
