He is known as the Father of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights because of the leading part he played in their writing and ratification. His Presidency: Madison's main concern as president was the war between France and England and its effect on American commerce, ships and cargoes. This culminated in the War of 1812. Madison barely escaped when the city of Washington was captured and burned by the British in 1814. Peace was finally attained by the Treaty of Ghent in 1814. His Life: 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.

President James Madison Served 1809-1813, 1813-1817 James Madison was born March 16, 1751, in Point Conway, King George County, Virginia. 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. In 1784, at age 43, he married the taller, much younger Dorothea Todd nicknamed Dolly who became a popular hostess and beloved first lady. When delegates to the Constitutional Convention assembled at Philadelphia, the 36-year-old Madison participated frequently and emphatically in the debates. To air Constitutional issues and gain popular support for the then-proposed Constitution, Madison co-wrote with Alexander Hamilton and John Jay under the pen name of Publius a series of articles called The Federalist Papers. Perhaps the most significant public-relations campaign in history; many public relations classes study The Federalist Papers as a prime example of how to conduct a successful campaign.

To the press alone, checquered as it is with abuses, the world is indebted for all the triumphs which have been gained by reason and humanity over error and oppression. If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. It will be of little avail to the people, that the laws are made by men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood . . . The truth is that all men having power ought to be mistrusted.

50. James Madison madison was the first president to wear trousers instead of knee breeches.james madison was one of two presidents to sign the us Constitution. http://www.geocities.com/presfacts/madison.html

James Madison, Jr. Madison was our smallest President, weighing 100 pounds, and standing 5 feet and 4 inches tall. Madison was the first President to wear trousers instead of knee breeches. James Madison was one of two Presidents to sign the U.S. Constitution. Madison, Wisconsin is named after James Madison. Madison was a half first cousin twice removed of George Washington and a second cousin of Zachary Taylor. During the War of 1812 Madison was under enemy fire. He was the first president to be in that situation. (Some people may question whether this is true or not since George Washington led troops during the Whiskey Rebellion, some say that he was the first to be under enemy fire. Nevertheless, I added this fact because I read it in several different places. Madison was younger than both of his vice presidents, and both of his vice presidents died while they were in office. When he was dying, Madison was offered drugs so that he might live to Independence Day and die then. He refused and died on June 28, 1836. Madison's inaugural jacket was woven from the wool of sheep raised at his home in Virginia.

Little-Known U.S. Document Signed by President Adams Proclaims America's Government Is Secular by Jim Walker Some people today assert that the United States government came from Christian foundations. They argue that our political system represents a Christian ideal form of government and that Jefferson, Madison, et al, had simply expressed Christian values while framing the Constitution. If this proved true, then we should have a wealth of evidence to support it, yet just the opposite proves the case. Although, indeed, many of America's colonial statesmen practiced Christianity, our most influential Founding Fathers broke away from traditional religious thinking. The ideas of the Great Enlightenment that began in Europe had begun to sever the chains of monarchical theocracy. These heretical European ideas spread throughout early America. Instead of relying on faith, people began to use reason and science as their guide. The humanistic philosophical writers of the Enlightenment, such as Locke, Rousseau, and Voltaire, had greatly influenced our Founding Fathers and Isaac Newton's mechanical and mathematical foundations served as a grounding post for their scientific reasoning. A few Christian fundamentalists attempt to convince us to return to the Christianity of early America, yet according to the historian, Robert T. Handy, "No more than 10 percent probably less of Americans in 1800 were members of congregations."

Madison, James Madison, detail of an oil painting by Asher B. Durand, 1833; in the collection of The New-York Historical Society Collection of The New-York Historical Society Documents (b. March 16 [March 5, Old Style], 1751, Port Conway, Va. [U.S.]d. June 28, 1836, Montpelier, Va., U.S.), fourth president of the United States (1809-17) and one of the founding fathers of his country. At the Constitutional Convention (1787) he influenced the planning and ratification of the U.S. Constitution and collaborated with Alexander Hamilton and John Jay in the publication of The Federalist Papers As a member of the new House of Representatives, he sponsored the first 10 amendments to the Constitution. He was secretary of state under President Thomas Jefferson when the Louisiana Territory was purchased from France. The War of 1812 was fought during his presidency. Early life and political activities. Madison was born at the home of his maternal grandmother. The son and namesake of a leading Orange county landowner and squire, he maintained his lifelong home at Montpelier, near the Blue Ridge Mountains. In 1769 he rode horseback to the College of New Jersey (Princeton University), selected for its hostility to episcopacy. He completed the four-year course in two years, finding time also to demonstrate against England and to lampoon members of a rival literary society in ribald verse. Overwork produced several years of epileptoid hysteria and premonitions of early death, which thwarted military training but did not prevent home study of public law, mixed with early advocacy of independence (1774) and furious denunciation of the imprisonment of nearby dissenters from the established Anglican Church. Madison never became a church member, but in maturity he expressed a preference for Unitarianism.

57. Presidental Temperament One, the analytic Rational, has given us some of and strategy such as Thomas Jefferson,james madison, and Abraham has never been an Idealist president in all http://keirsey.com/presidents.html

Presidential Temperament Excerpted from Presidential Temperament , by David Keirsey and Ray Choiniere The year 1912 was a presidential election year, and former President Theodore Roosevelt was again campaigning for the nation's highest office. By the evening of October 14 his campaign had carried him to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he was to deliver a speech in the city's public auditorium.The time was nearing for him to speak, so he strode from his hotel onto the sidewalk outside, where a car was waiting to take him to the auditorium. As Roosevelt walked toward the car a man suddenly stepped up to him and pointed a pistol at his heart. The gunman pulled the trigger and a bullet burst from the pistol and smashed its way into Roosevelt's chest. His shirt was suddenly spattered with red, and more blood immediately began seeping from the ugly hole. The bullet had come to rest against his rib cage, a mere half inch from his lungs. "He pinked me!" shouted Roosevelt, as bystanders rushed to subdue the gunman, John Shrank. They wrestled Shrank to the ground and then, seeing Roosevelt's bloody clothing, prepared to rush him to the hospital. But they found Teddy Roosevelt a more difficult man to deal with than the would-be assassin. "TR" adamantly refused to go for help. "You just stay where you are!" he thundered. "I am going to make this speech and you might as well compose yourself." Teddy Roosevelt was as good as his word that October evening. Still wearing his torn and red-stained shirt, he had himself driven to the auditorium and there, Shrank's bullet lodged in his chest, he pulled out his blood-spattered notes and gave his speech. "I have a message to deliver," he declared to the stunned audience, "and I will deliver it as long as there is life in my body."

58. Madison: America’s Most Underrated President of the us Constitution,” be considered a failure as president? Prolific authorand wellknown historian Garry Wills, in his new book, james madison*, tackles http://www.americanfreepress.net/Books/20_James_Madison_Book_Review.htm

Exclusive To American Free Press By F.C. Blahut James Madison While today most historians say he was correct, Madison lacked the people skills to rally the masses to his side. The modern reader could easily compare the presidency of the elder George Bush following Ronald Reagan to Madison following Jefferson. Hence, one of the stalwarts of the first Constitutional Convention became a lackluster and hesitant president, only to go on to become a respected elder statesman In James Madison , Wills takes a close look at our fourth president in the years before the Revolution, his two terms as president and his legacy. It is here that Wills makes his point that our fourth president was no failure, but a brilliant man facing problems never seen before by a chief executive of a government of the people, by the people and for the people. 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. At the Annapolis Convention in 1786 he took a lead in the call for the Constitutional Convention that met the following year in Philadelphia.
