    Answer: Letter D

    Explanation: Madison disagreed with Jefferson's belief that a bill of rights would protect citizens. Madison objected at first because it would only imply that there rights that government does not protect and that it would be a hindrance that would oppose the power of government. It was only when he added the amendments he made that he changed his mind.
