i have read the summary of federalist paper no 10 but im still not understanding madisons stand on the constitution. does he favor it?

Answer 1

From the Wikipedia summary:

"Madison argued that a strong, large republic would be a better guard against those dangers than smaller republics—for instance, the individual states.
