James Madison wrote of the "tyranny of the majority" in Federalist paper #10. A full trust in the crowd is just as foolish and dangerous to liberty as a blind, unchecked trust in government.

The phrase you mention, "tyranny of the majority," is attributable to John Adams in 1788, a year after the Federalist #10 was published. So no, that phrase is not part of the text of F#10.

Madison did however, say the following in F#10, "the superior force of an interested and overbearing majority." Madison had an aversion to political parties which he referred to as factions. At the time of this writing, he was firmly committed to a one party system, suggesting that corruption was more unlikely in a vast republican form of government, and greater in a small society direct democracy because unholy alliances are much harder to form the more people who are involved.

Madison advocated for the power of the people to be vested in their elected delegates. That would have been the extent of the 'trust' that was to be visited upon the people. The reason was because human nature Madison believed, could not be tamed over a long period of time as all societal discontent is measured in the possession of property. In other words, as long as the people feel they have equality of opportunity, they are more likely to accept a self invested form of republican governance, because under that system, all seems fair.

Bernie and Hillary would be at the very bottom of Madison's list. They call for the equitable disposition of wealth, redistribution if one were to ask Barack. By definition according to Madison, the destroyer of any democratic form of government, because it leads to discontent and violent collapse. And the seeds of discontent have led to violence of late, have they not?
