James Madison (1751-1836) 4th President of the United States Ancestry: English Height: 5 ft. 4 in. Religion: Episcopalian Political Party: Democratic-Republican Family: No children The fourth President of the United States. He is known as the "father of the Constitution" because of his influence of deliberations of the Constitutional Convention. His notes on the convention, first published in 1840, are the major source of information on the intentions of the framers of the US Constitution. The most scholarly of the founders for the nation, Madison was respected for the soundness and clarity of his arguments rather than the eloquence. Although Madison lacked a dynamic personality, "his luminous and discriminating mind," as Thomas Jefferson described it, was largely responsible for creating a government that met the needs of his own day and the test of time. Madison's Presidency was undistinguished in comparison to his contributions to the founding of the nation. (more later, including a picture)

Center for Civic Education 2000 Supplemental Lesson What Was James Madison's Legacy to American Constitutionalism and Citizenship? A Note to Teachers: The 250th anniversary of James Madison's birth in 1751 offers an appropriate opportunity to examine this Founder's contributions to American constitutionalism and politics. To this end, the Center for Civic Education has collaborated with James Madison's Montpelier to produce this supplement to We the People... The Citizen and the Constitution. It should be read after students have covered the material in Lessons 1 through 21. You should reference, in particular, discussions of Madison in Lessons 3 and 11-20. The competitive hearings for 2000-01 will include questions on Madison and his legacy. Purpose of the lesson This lesson examines the legacy of the "philosopher statesman," James Madison. Madison combined the intellectual knowledge and creativity of the scholar with the practical savvy of the politician, a man of strong principles who also realized the value of compromise. He was one of the principal architects of the constitutional and political institutions that continue to shape our nation's life today. In his ability to translate ideas into action Madison also exemplified what has become an important characteristic of American citizenship. When you have completed this lesson, you should be able to judge the degree to which Madison deserves to be considered the "father" of both the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. You should also be able to explain and evaluate Madison's successes and failures in putting his ideals into practice as regards political parties and slavery.

Madison was one of the founders of the Jeffersonian Republican party in the 1790s, and he served as secretary of state (1801-9) under Thomas Jefferson. Madison was born in Westmoreland County, Virginia, on March 16, 1751, the son of a wealthy planter. He graduated from the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University) in 1771 and in 1776 was elected to the Virginia Convention, called to consider the relationship of the colonies to Great Britain, at which he strongly urged independence. From 1777 to 1780 he was a member of the Governor's Council. In 1780 he was elected to a 3-year term in the Continental Congress. Although he was the youngest member, Madison quickly rose to a position of leadership, working unsuccessfully, along with Alexander Hamilton and others, to strengthen the central government by giving Congress power to tax and to regulate trade. Madison entered the Virginia legislature in 1783. An advocate of complete separation of church and state, he succeeded in persuading the legislature to adopt the Statute of Virginia for Religious Freedom drafted by Thomas Jefferson.

Home Biographies -Signers of the Declaration -Signers of the A. O. C. ... Search James Madison Within site of Blue Ridge, in Virginia, lived three Presidents of the United States, whose public career commenced in the Revolutionary times, and whose political faith was the same throughout a long series of years. These were Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, and James Madison. The latter was born at the house of his maternal grandmother, on the banks of the Rappahannock, in Virginia, on the 16th of March, 1751. His parents resided in Orange county, and there, during a long life, the eminent statesman lived. After completing his preparatory studies, he was sent to the college at Princeton, Now Jersey, then under the charge of Dr. Witherspoon, for his parents knew the atmosphere of the lower country at Williamsburg to be uncongenial for personas from the mountain regions. He left Princeton, in the Spring of 1773, with health much impaired by intense study and immediately entered upon a course of reading preparatory for the practice of the law, which he had chosen for a profession. Political affairs attracted his attention, and he was diverted from law to public employments. In the Spring of 1776, he was a member of the convention which formed the first Constitution for the new free State of Virginia; and the same year he was elected a member of the State legislature. He lost the suffrages of his constituents the following year, because, it was alleged, he would not "treat" the people to Liquor, and could not make a speech! The legislature named him a member if the executive council, in which office he served until 1779, when he was elected to membership in the Continental Congress. He tools his seat there in March, 1780, and for three years he was one of the most reliable men in that body.

JAMES MADISON MADISON, JAMES Upon the accession of the Republican party to power in 1801, Madison became secretary of state in Jeffersons cabinet, a position for which he was well fitted both because he possessed to a remarkable degree the gifts of careful thinking and discreet and able speaking, and of large constructive ability; and because he was well versed in constitutional and international law and practised a fairness in discussion essential to a diplomat. During the eight years that he held the portfolio of state, he had continually to defend the neutral rights of the United States against the encroachments of European belligerents; in 1806 he published A ii Examination of tile British Doctrine which subjects to Capture a Neutral Trade not open in Time of Peace, a careful argument-with a minute examination of authorities on international law against the rule of war of 1756 extended by Great Britain in 1793 and 1803.

James Madison Fourth President (1809-1817) As a central figure in framing the Constitution, James Madison had a good deal of influence over the shaping of the American presidency. But helping to conceive that office did not guarantee success in occupying it, and much of Madison's own presidency was marred by his inept handling of the War of 1812 and the bitter criticism that it engendered. Derisively labeled "Mr. Madison's War," the conflict, one commentator railed, had been "commenced in folly . . . carried on with madness, and . . . will end in ruin." The advent of peace in late 1814, however, mellowed feelings toward Madison. Although many of the issues that had spawned hostilities remained unresolved, the war had produced enough military glory to satisfy national pride. In the process, Madison emerged as the American David who had dared to take on the British Goliath. In 1829, Madison came out of retirement to attend a convention for revising Virginia's constitution. While there, he posed for this portrait by the Massachusetts painter Chester Harding. This last involvement in public affairs rejuvenated the now-frail Madison. According to one observer, his "stock of racy anecdotes was the delight of every social board.
