Biography

James Madison, (1751-1836), 4th PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES . Although he served eight years each as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, as secretary of state, and as president, Madison's principal contribution to the founding of the United States was as "Father of the Constitution." He played the leading role in formulating the U.S. CONSTITUTION , and he was its leading defender and interpreter for 50 years. To a preeminent degree he combined scholarship, a keen intelligence, commitment to republican government, and a realistic understanding of politics in a way that allowed him again and again to move from an idea or a conception to a plan or a policy or a law. Madison's place among the Founding Fathers reveals the essential qualities of his public career. Not gifted with WASHINGTON 's imposing presence or instinctive judiciousness, he was more articulate and more creative than the first president. He lacked Franklin's breadth of interest, infectious wit, and unique diplomatic style, but he more profoundly understood the problems of government. John ADAMS was more learned and more cognizant of the intractable, tragic dilemmas of human life, but Madison was more skilled at fashioning institutions likely to cope in some way with those dilemmas.

R eflecting back on her many visits to James and Dolley Madison’s plantation home, Dolley’s longtime friend, Margaret Bayard Smith, described the Montpelier she had grown to love: Smith was not alone in her sentiment about Montpelier. In the early 19th century countless visitors expressed a great sense of pleasure in the place and in the people who lived there. They quickly understood how deeply James Madison (1751-1836) was rooted in his family estate. His grandparents had settled Montpelier in the early 1730s. In the late 1750s Madison’s father began building the house where Madison grew up and to which he returned permanently following his retirement as president in 1817. Madison enjoyed the opportunities and met the responsibilities of education and public service associated with the wealthy Southern gentry to which he belonged. Ultimately, he took part in the most crucial years of our nation’s development. His greatest contribution was his service as "Father" of the Constitution.

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

    In 1785, the Virginia legislature was considering "a bill establishing a provision for teachers of the Christian religion." Madison, with this remonstrance, led the charge against the measure, on the grounds that it would represent a violation of religious liberty by intermixing church and state.

    The "detached memoranda" were a series of handwritten documents discovered in 1946 among the papers of Madison scholar William Cabell Rives. Undated, they are believed to have been written somewhere between 1817 and 1832. In this excerpt, Madison writes at length about his feelings on monopolies, intellectual property, corporations, and religious liberties. A real gem.

    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 lifeplagued 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

    http://www.faceofthenation.com/patriot/madisonbio.html
    James Madison
    by G.E. Baird James Madison is remembered most for his role in the authorship of the Constitution, for his presidency, his part in the War of 1812, and his outstanding public service record. He was a true patriot in his dedication to country, and though the face of our government has changed much since his time, we continue to reap the benefits of his ideals. Born in 1751 in Orange County, Virginia, Madison attended the College of New Jersey (Princeton), obtaining a 4-year degree in half the usual time. He studied law and theology on his own for a time, and in 1776 was elected to the Virginia Convention, marking the beginning of his long career in politics. In 1786, Madison attended an interstate trade convention in Annapolis. At this meeting, it was decided that a conference would be held the following summer for the purpose of modifying the Articles of Confederation, which had served as a loose bond among the states during the Revolutionary War. Madison, however, had an agenda in mind that would eradicate the Articles of Confederation and create a stronger federal government. He arrived at the convention and presented The Virginia Plan, which called for two houses composed of state representatives whose number would vary according to population. The plan also called for the three branches of government that we are familiar with today: Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. The Executive was to be elected by members of the two houses, and not by the general population.

    James Madison (1751-1836) Father of the Constitution
    Biographical Highlights Fourth President of the United States, James Madison was born at Port Conway, in King George county, Virginia, on March 16, 1751. In 1769 he entered the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University), where, in the same year he founded the well-known literary club, "The American Whig Society." He graduated in 1771, but remained for another year studying, apparently for the ministry. In 1772 he returned to Virginia, where he pursued his reading and studies, especially theology and Hebrew, and acted as a tutor to the younger children of the family. In 1775 Madison became chairman of the committee of public safety for Orange county, and wrote its response to Patrick Henry's call for the arming of a colonial militia, and in the spring of 1776 he was chosen a delegate to the new Virginia convention, where he was on the committee which drafted the constitution for the state, and proposed an `amendment (not adopted) which declared that "all men are equally entitled to the full and free exercise" of religion, and was more radical than the similar one offered by George Mason. He was not reelected, but in November 1777 he was chosen a member of the privy council or council of state in which he assisted the governor until the end of 1779, when he was elected a delegate to the Continental Congress.
