Extractions: a Mainstream Revolutionary "A popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a prologue to a farce or a tragedy, or perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance, and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives." - James Madison, from a letter to W.T. Barry, August 4, 1822 Book Review of "The Great Little Madison" by Vishal An insightful look by a fifth grader from Maryland in the USA.

Extractions: James Madison At his inauguration, James Madison, a small, wizened man, appeared old and worn; Washington Irving described him as "but a withered little apple-John." But whatever his deficiencies in charm, Madison's buxom wife Dolley compensated for them with her warmth and gaiety. She was the toast of Washington. Born in 1751, Madison was brought up in Orange County, Virginia, and attended Princeton (then called the College of New Jersey). A student of history and government, well-read in law, he participated in the framing of the Virginia Constitution in 1776, served in the Continental Congress, and was a leader in the Virginia Assembly. When delegates to the Constitutional Convention assembled at Philadelphia, the 36-year-old Madison took frequent and emphatic part in the debates.

Extractions: There was another cloud hanging over the convention: the issue of slavery. Late in August a new confrontation developed on the floor of the convention. Delegates from some of the northern states were intent on eliminating, or at least limiting, slavery. They thought that the constitution would be an ideal vehicle to do this. Madison commented in his private notes that "It seemed now to be pretty well understood that the real difference lay, not between the large & small but between the N. & Southn. States. The institution of slavery formed a line of discrimination." A second major factor of the Grand Compromise, when all was finally settled, was that slavery was actually protected by the constitution (Article 4, section 2 "No person held to service or labor...") The delegates further resolved that the slave trade would be left alone for another twenty years. • an alien act allowing the deportation by executive order of any non-citizen that the president found "dangerous to the peace & safety of the United States".

In 1809 Congress responded to popular pressure, rebelled and repealed Jefferson's Embargo. Despite its unpopularity, the embargo had some positive effects on the American economy: It forced American to invest in manufacturing, thereby becoming less reliant on foreign goods, which ultimately helped the U.S. balance of trade. It relieved the impressment controversy, thus buying time for America to grow stronger;

Although negotiations with British ambassadors continued in hope of a peaceable settlement, they were now almost certainly doomed to fail.

Extractions: JAMES MADISON 4th President of the United States James Madison is considered the most influential contributor to the United States Constitution, and he worked vigorously to see it ratified. He also contributed to The Federalist Papers to explain his advocacy for a strong federal government. He served as a member of Congress and as Jefferson's Secretary of State before winning the presidential election of 1808. Madison served two terms in office, losing much of his prestige over his leadership during the War of 1812. During the war, Madison was forced to flee Washington when the British army invaded. His wife, Dolley stayed behind and salvaged national treasures. Extra credit : Madison was the smallest U.S. president, standing 5" 4" and weighing about 100 pounds...

Extractions: James Madison was born at Port Conway, Virginia on March 16, 1751, the oldest of ten children born into planter aristocracy. He received his early education from his mother, tutors, and a private school, in 1771 he graduated from the College of New Jersey (which became Princeton) where he demonstrated special interest in government and the law. He stayed for a year of postgraduate study in theology considering the ministry. Undecided on a profession, Madison returned to his family's estate of Montpelier and embraced the patriot cause, and state and local politics became his primary interest. In 1775 he served on the Orange County committee of safety; the next year at the Virginia convention, which besides advocating various Revolutionary steps, framed the Virginia constitution; in 1776-77 in the House of Delegates; and in 1778-80 in the Council of State. His ill health precluded any military service. In 1780 Madison was chosen to represent Virginia in the Continental Congress (1780-83 and 1786-88). Although originally the youngest delegate, he played a major role in the deliberations of that body. Meantime, in the years 1784-86, he had again sat in the Virginia House of Delegates. Madison was clearly the preeminent figure at the convention. Some of the delegates favored an authoritarian central government; others, retention of state sovereignty; and most occupied positions in the middle of two extremes. Madison, who was rarely absent and whose Virginia Plan was in large part the basis of the Constitution, advocated a strong government, though many of his proposals were rejected. Despite his poor speaking abilities, he took the floor over 150 times. His journal of the convention is the bets record of the event and he played a key part in guiding the Constitution through the Continental Congress.

Extractions: James Madison (1751-1836), the fourth president of the United States, is often called the Father of the Constitution. He played a leading role in the Constitutional Convention of 1787, where he helped design the checks and balances that operate among Congress, the president, and the Supreme Court. He also helped create the U.S. federal system, which divides power between the central government and the states. Madison served his home state Virginia and the United States in many roles over his 40 years in public life. Before he became president, Madison had served as secretary of state under President Thomas Jefferson. Both as secretary of state and as president, Madison tried to keep the United States from being drawn into conflicts between European countries. In 1812, however, President Madison led the United States into a war against Great Britain after Britain had interfered with U.S. shipping. During the war, British troops captured Washington, D.C., where they burned the Capitol, the White House, and other government buildings. As president, Madison followed policies that generally resulted in U.S. economic growth and westward expansion.

Extractions: Taking the Long View, 1851-1991 On March 16 , 1802, Congress approved legislation establishing the United States Military Academy at West Point , one of the oldest military service academies in the world. Strategically located on the west bank of the Hudson River 50 miles north of New York City, West Point has been continuously occupied by U.S. troops since January 20, 1778. George Washington established his headquarters there in 1779. In 1780, Benedict Arnold , then in command of the post, tried unsuccessfully to betray it to the British. Touring Turn-of-the-Century America, 1880-1920 Colonel Sylvanus Thayer, superintendent at West Point from 1817 to 1833 is credited with instituting the high standards of discipline and scholarship for which the Academy is known today. Under Thayer's tenure, cadets were trained as civil engineers as well as soldiers. After graduation from West Point, commissioned officers put their technical skills to work for the U.S. government in construction of canals, roads, railroads, and other internal improvements needed to facilitate westward expansion.
