What was James Madison's opinion regarding the influence of the Ten Commandments
on the development of U.S. Government?



Answer :

The Ten Commandments were never referenced by Madison in any of his pieces for The Federalist. He has been misattributed for a phrase that is thought to have appeared in his personal bible, but there is no solid proof of this. However, the quotes states that: "We have staked the whole future of American civilization not upon the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future of all our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government, upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments."

The only issue with the aforementioned quotation about the Ten Commandments is that it has never been located in any of James Madison's publications. Past and present biographers of Madison have never seen such a quote, and the majority, if not all, would be interested in learning where it came from.
