Mr. Madison was strongly against slavery, and saw slaves as equal individuals. (this did not, however, stop him from keeping slaves his entire life) He tried to bring his opinion to the other delegates, but it was clear this would not happen. therefore, he suggested the Three-Fifths Compromise, stating that slaves be counted as three-fifths of a normal person in governmental desiscions. Obvioulsy he was in favor of it since he was the one who suggested the idea.
hope this helped!

South ofthat line, slavery was allowed. But it only applied to the territories acquired from France in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. When the USA acquired vast new lands from Mexico in 1847, a new compromise had to be worked out, in view of the Wilmot Proviso, which declared that no slavery should be allowed in any of these new territories.
Madison's view on human nature is realistic. He believed that man was at his best when capable of self reason and discipline.

James Madison, along with most of the other founders, thought that since all the states had their own bills of rights, there was no need of a general one. Well, a while after signing the U. S. Constitution, he got a letter from Thomas Jefferson saying that the U. S. of A. DID need a general bill of rights. So that's why James changed his mind and wrote the Bill of Rights.
"Compromise" is the process of accommodating different needs and view points, and not "government".
The Northern states were opposed to the Missouri Compromise of 1820. They felt Missouri should not be a slave state as it would give the South more power.
