Why did the Jefferson and Madison believe that Adam's and the federalist were capturing the government from the American people?
Jefferson and Madison supported small government control (and a stricter interpretation of the Constituation), while Adams and the Federalists wanted more government power.
Why did Madison vetoed the Bonus Bill of 1817?
James Madison vetoed the Bonus Bill because he, like Jefferson, found "internal improvements" to be unconstitutional despite how benevolent it would be. He found the right to create canals and roads to be held by the states alone according to his constitutional interpretation. The republican interpretation of the constitution back then was strict and not open to many (if any) implications

When did James Madison become a protege of Thomas Jefferson?
I make the argument that Madison was never Jefferson's protege. Madison and Jefferson met when they were both members of the Virginia House of Delegates. Madison was the younger of the two but in the course of this relationship he never found himself in a position in which he was learning from Jefferson as a protege does. If you read the earlier papers of Madison his ideas do not differ from his ideas after meeting Jefferson. There is the argument that Madison was a firm believer in a strong federal government in the fashion that Hamilton was but then later is a believer in small government like Jefferson but a closer examination of his philosophy reveals a more consistent character. Like Hamilton, Madison believed throughout his career that a strong union was necessary. Like Jefferson, Madison believed that government required limits that Hamilton thought were hampered a robust national government. Madison believed, before Jefferson went to France, in a Franco-American alliance and encouraged a hesitant Jefferson to become the diplomat to France. He worked with Jefferson in the VA House of Delegates. He worked with Gov. Jefferson as a member of the Counsel of State. He encouraged him to go to France and then to return to America to become the first Sec. of State. He was Jefferson's younger ally. But to be a protege Madison would have had to sit at Jefferson's feet and expect to learn something he did not already know and believe. If anything, Madison was always the steady voice common sense that balanced Jefferson's boundless energy.
Why did James Madison object to Hamiltons plan for a national bank?
Madison opposed the establishment of a national bank because of his and Jefferson's beliefs that the ability to control commerce did not constitute a right to create a bank. As you know, Jefferson and Madison were Democratic-Republicans, who were set up by Jefferson to strictly follow the Constitution, i.e. if its not spelled out, it falls under the rights of the people & the state rather then the Federal Government. The creation of National Banks was not in the Bill of Rights, which led Jefferson and Madison to believe that, under the 10th Amendment, the right was retained by the people and the states. However, the Constitution promises the Federal Government the ability to control commerce. This led to the major counter-argument from the Federalists. So, part of the reason Madison opposed the Bank was because of Jefferson and Madison's beliefs that the ability to control commerce did not constitute a right to create a bank. However, it is evident through on of Jefferson's famous quotes that this was not the only reason: "I sincerely believe that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies." -Thomas Jefferson It only makes sense to me that Madison agreed to and carried on this ideal stated by Jefferson. The exact reasons Jefferson believed this are broad, and I wouldn't know where to start or end. Who was right? That argument is still a valid one (look up opposition to the Federal Reserve). I can tell you who won though; up until Jackson's presidency, the Bank of the United States continued to issue notes.
What did Jefferson believe in?
As the co-founders of the Democratic-Republican Party, they believed in State's Rights. Madison did believe in a strong federal government, but that it should also share power with the State Governments. Thomas Jefferson believed in State's Rights as well.

What were some contributions of Thomas Jefferson in making the Constitution?
i believe he participated in giving ideas and possibly wrote it. Jefferson was in France (Ambassador) during the time the committee met in Philly to write the Constitution. While Jefferson agreed with Madison on some issues, he disagreed on others, and was in the anti-Federalist camp.
