You are correct, Madison was indeed influenced by Montesquieu's "The Spirit of the Laws." This book outlined the concept of separating powers among different branches of government, an idea that Madison incorporated into the United States Constitution. To confirm your answer, you could also research Madison's writings and speeches, where he discusses the influence of Montesquieu and his ideas on government.
