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.

Help Biography of James Madison (1751-1836) 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.

Search ( Enter the name of an historical figure, event or issue) James Madison James Madison was born at Port Conway, Virginia, and spent his youth on his father’s estate, Montpelier. In 1722, he graduated from the College of New Jersey (later Princeton University). Real or imagined health problems – which would span his life – plagued young Madison, but they also gave him time to become a student of government and political philosophy. In 1774, Madison served on the local committee of public safety, allying with other patriots in opposing British policies. Two years later, he attended the Virginia Convention, aided in drafting the state’s new constitution and formed a permanent bond with Thomas Jefferson From 1780 to 1784, Madison served in the Continental Congress and became an influential delegate despite his youth. Later he was a member of the state assembly and worked with Jefferson to establish full religious liberty in Virginia. Madison’s experience in Congress convinced him of the need for a stronger central government, leading him to participation in the Mount Vernon Conference (1785), the Annapolis Convention (1786), and finally the Constitutional Convention (1787). His knowledge and dedication enabled him to make a tremendous contribution to the drafting of the new constitution, earning him the title “Father of the Constitution.” Madison was also active in the ratification effort, collaborating with

Madison, James, Jr., Madison, James, Jr., 1771 (1751-1836), statesman and political philosopher, should, by tradition, have attended the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg. Most aspiring young Virginia men of his family's station did so. Three influences, however, diverted him. One was his tutor, Thomas Martin, Princeton 1762, who persuaded him of the merits of the young institution in New Jersey. Another was President John Witherspoon's fame, which had begun to spread through the colonies. The third was Madison's family, which had differences with the administration of the Virginia college. So in the summer of 1769 Madison, the eldest of ten children, set out for the College of New Jersey. His work in Philadelphia done, Madison turned to securing the Constitution's acceptance. His efforts toward ratification were essential. His arguments in behalf of the Constitution at the Virginia ratifying convention carried that state for the Constitution, without which the ratification of New York might have been lost and hence the federal union with it. Moreover, his co-authorship, with Hamilton and Jay, of the Federalist Papers

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History MADISON, JAMES , fourth president of the United States and political theorist. One of the less colorful but most important of America's Founding Fathers, Madison may rightly be considered the principal architect of the political system defined by the U.S. Constitution. His extraordinary career in public life extended over forty years, intersecting every major phase of the history of the American Revolution and the early Republic. Although he served in a number of high offices, including secretary of state (1801-1809) and president (1809-1817), he is best remembered for his accomplishments as a political theorist and for his related role in launching the Constitution during the late 1780s and early 1790s. Historians generally recognize the soft-spoken, diminutive, and scholarly Madison as the best prepared and most influential of the delegates to the Constitutional Convention of 1787. Drawing on his extensive study of past republics, as well as his recent experience as a delegate to both the Virginia legislature and the national Congress under the Articles of Confederation, Madison led the search at Philadelphia for what he later called "a republican remedy for the diseases most incident to republican government." He hoped that by creating a new national government that rested directly on the people rather than on the states, the delegates could overcome the factional disorder, confusion, and injustice that prevailed during the postrevolutionary years without endangering liberty or compromising the American commitment to representative government.

Entries Publication Data Dedication Advisory Board ... World Civilizations The Great American History Fact-Finder Madison, James , fourth president of the United States . Born in Port Conway, Virginia, Madison graduated from Princeton and began his forty-year political career by becoming involved in Virginia's politics. In 1776, as a member of the Virginia convention that wrote the state's pioneering constitution and declaration of rights, he took a strong stand for religious liberty. In the 1780s Madison was a key member of the Virginia legislature, where he won enactment of many of the statutes drafted in 1779 by his friend and mentor Thomas Jefferson, including the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom. He was also a leading advocate of reform of the Articles of Confederation , a key delegate to the Annapolis Convention of 1786, and one of the foremost members of the Constitutional Convention of 1787. Because of his pathbreaking Virginia Plan (the basis of the convention's work in framing the Constitution), his brilliant analyses of American politics and governance, and his extensive notes on debates in the convention, he has been dubbed the father of the Constitution (a title he himself always rejected). Madison campaigned for ratification of the document in the Federalist Papers , a collection of essays he wrote with John Jay and Alexander Hamilton. As a representative in Congress
