James Madison James Madison was the foremost architect of the U.S. Constitution , a leading theorist of republican government, and the fourth president of the United States (1809-1817). Madison was born at Port Conway, Va., on Mar. 16, 1751, into a family that had been in Virginia since the mid-17th century. The family had settled (c.1730) on a plantation in Orange County that grew in Madison's lifetime to 2,000 ha (5,000 acres). The chief crops were grains and tobacco, produced by a work force of about 100 slaves. Madison thus depended all his life on a system of slavery that he was never able to reconcile with his republican ideals. At preparatory school and the College of New Jersey at Princeton, from which he graduated in 1771, Madison was greatly influenced by the works of such Enlightenment thinkers as Joseph Addison, David Hume, John Locke, Isaac Newton, and Voltaire. As the American Revolution approached, Madison served (from 1774) on the Orange County Committee of Safety. Two years later he was elected to the Virginia convention that voted for independence and that drafted a constitution for the new state. In the debates on the constitution he successfully changed a clause guaranteeing religious toleration into a general statement of "liberty of conscience for all." During 1778 and 1779 he served on the council of state under governors Patrick Henry and Thomas Jefferson.

Although a successful general and president, Washington remained interested in farming throughout his presidency. He bred animals, specializing in the breeding of mules and helped to raise the quality of stock across the nation. As the first president, Washington had many new tasks to accomplish with trial and error as the only available method for accomplishing them. After appointing people to head the four executive departments, he tried to meet with each head, or ] secretary, individually. This proved to be daunting. As a result he had the secretaries meet with him as a group, forming the government's first cabinet. New York was the nation’s first capital, but people felt that the capital should be outside the territory of any states. George Washington selected the site for our current capital between the states of Maryland and Virginia. While the new capital was being built, Washington led the country from Philadelphia, which served as a temporary capital.
