James Madison -
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.
First Inaugural Address
James Madison was twice elected President of the United States. This inaugural address was delivered on Saturday, March 4, 1809.
Second Inaugural Address
Madison's second inauguration was on March 4th, 1813. The United States was at war with Great Britain, ostensibly over the issue of the impressing of US seaman into the service of England. War raged in Euorope, Napolean having recently invaded Russia and burned Moscow.
James Madison, Memorial and Remonstrance -1785
A screed by Madison (and others?) arguing against a law that would have established "Teachers of the Christian Relegion". Contains excellent articulations of the right to religious freedom, and of the limitations of Society and Law in matters of Religion.
The Federalist Papers
During 1787 and 1788 Madison, Alexander Hamilton and John Jay wrote a series of articles all being the pen-name "Publius". These articles were published in newpapers in New York state as part of efforts to convince New Yorkers to ratify the US Constitution.

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.

    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".

    James Madison as President James Madison was a close friend and political ally of Jefferson. Madison's home, Montpelier, near Orange, Virginia, is about 27 miles from Monticello. [A nice one-day trip from Northern Virginia includes both homes. Monticello is especially gorgeous if you can catch it during the fall leaf season. Montpelier is interesting for what the Du Pont family did when they owned it.] For a great read about Madison and his contemporaries, try the fine book by David Nevin, a first rate historical novel. It's in the Fairfax County library system.] A summary of Madison's White House years:
    • His terms were dominated by foreign dilemmas—the last years of the Napoleonic Wars. 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;

    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.

    Biography of James Madison
    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.

    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.
    Madison was a close friend of Thomas Jefferson, who also was a Virginian. The two men formed an important political partnership. During the Revolutionary War in America, they worked together for American independence.

    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.

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.

    Presidents of the USA
    James Madison (1751-1836) was the fourth President of the United States of America . He was President from 1809 until 1817. Madison belonged to the Democratic-Republican Party. Madison was born in Port Conway, Virginia , on March 16, 1751. Madison entered the College of New Jersey (now called Princeton) when he was 17 years old, studying government and history. During college, he and some friends formed a political club called the American Whig Society, which discussed anti-British topics. Madison helped write the Virginia Constitution (1776), was a leader in the Virginia legislature (from 1776, where he worked diligently for religious freedom), and was elected to the Continental Congress (1779-1783). Madison and Thomas Jefferson became close friends, probably meeting in 1776 at the Virginia House of Delegates.
