The Political Philosophy of James Madison is written by Garrett Ward Sheldon and published by JHU Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0801871069 (ISBN 10) and 9780801871061 (ISBN 13).
Tracing the history of Madison's thought to his early education in Protestant theology, Sheldon argues that it was a fear of the potential "tyranny of the majority" over individual rights, along with a firmly Calvinist suspicion of the motives of sinful men, that led him to support a constitution creating a strong central government with power over state laws. In this way, Madison aimed to protect individual liberties and provide checks to "spiteful" human interests and selfish parochial prejudices.
