James Madison was a Federalist. As a delegate to the US Constitutional Convention, he argued for a strong central government with a system of checks and balances. He also made his federalist positions clear as a contributor to the Federalist Papers. Later, in 1808 he was elected to the US presidency. He served from 1809 to 1817. Madison was the fourth US president. Additionally, in order to have the new constitution ratified, he added the Bill of Rights. He believed the bill was unnecessary as there was nothing in the constitution that kept these rights that already existed in the former members of the Federation. Actually Madison drafted 12 items to the Bill of Rights but the convention only passed 10 of them.

Oh, dude, Federalist No. 10, written by James Madison, talks about the dangers of factions in a democratic society. It's like when your friends start arguing about pineapple on pizza, and you're just there like, "Can we all just get along?" In today's society, we still see factions causing division, whether it's over politics, sports teams, or the best type of coffee. Like, can't we all just agree to disagree and move on?
In the US, changes made to the US Constitution are called Amendments. Excluding the 10 amendments of the Bill of Rights, the most important one can be the 13th amendment which abolished slavery in the USA.
No, secession was neither forbidden nor illegal (use link below for authoritative source information). Virginia was one of 2 nation/states that made the ability to withdraw from the Union a condition of ratification of the Constitution. Those against southern states legally seceding promoted that the Southern states were trying to take down the Union, hence "rebellion" was the term used to permit the use of Federal troops to invade Virginia and other seceeding states. It was after the Civil War that law/laaws were amended or added requiring permission of the Federal Government to secede from the Union. Source: Online Entomology Dictionary, Legality of Secession.
