C.

Madison argued that the federal government needed powers the Articles lacked — especially the ability to regulate interstate commerce — to prevent trade disputes between states and promote a stable national economy. He supported a stronger central government (including a national judiciary and powers over the military and foreign policy), so the other statements do not reflect his views.
