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.
