Answer: Gun-control laws.

In the above excerpt, Madison is arguing that laws are necessary because men are not completely good (unlike angels). Therefore, some laws need to be implemented in order to restrict their freedom for their own good.

The only option that restricts people's freedom in order to protect them is the one of gun-control laws. Income taxes form accountability between the government and the governed, but they do not restrict freedom. Public work projects similarly require accountability, but do not restrict freedom. Military drafts restrict freedom, but not because citizens need this restriction for their own good, but because of attacks by others.

What movement influenced the constitution's framers?
11111nata11111 [884]
The movement that highly influenced the Constitution's framers was the 18th century philosophical and intellectual movement, Enlightenment. The movement presented several ideals such as the separation of church and state, liberty and constitutional government. From here, the framers of the Constitution took the idea that government was established only "by the consent of the governed". And thus, should be geared towards the best interests of its citizens.
