Extractions: James Madison as President James Madison was a close friend and political ally of Jefferson. Madison's home, Montpelier, near Orange, Virginia, is about 27 miles from Monticello. [A nice one-day trip from Northern Virginia includes both homes. Monticello is especially gorgeous if you can catch it during the fall leaf season. Montpelier is interesting for what the Du Pont family did when they owned it.] For a great read about Madison and his contemporaries, try the fine book by David Nevin, a first rate historical novel. It's in the Fairfax County library system.] A summary of Madison's White House years: His terms were dominated by foreign dilemmasthe last years of the Napoleonic Wars. In 1809 Congress responded to popular pressure, rebelled and repealed Jefferson's Embargo. Despite its unpopularity, the embargo had some positive effects on the American economy: It forced American to invest in manufacturing, thereby becoming less reliant on foreign goods, which ultimately helped the U.S. balance of trade. It relieved the impressment controversy, thus buying time for America to grow stronger;

Extractions: 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.

Extractions: How important are libraries to you? Thomas Jefferson and the U.S. government saw a library as essential. That's why on January 30, 1815, President James Madison approved an act of Congress appropriating $23,950 to purchase Thomas Jefferson's personal library. The United States' first Library of Congress was destroyed in 1814. After capturing Washington, D.C., that year, the British burned the U.S. Capitol where the 3,000-volume library was stored.

Extractions: 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.

Extractions: 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 Early Life 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 Nationalist-Federalist

Extractions: Terrorism North Korea ... El Cato by John Samples August 13, 2002 John Samples is director of the Cato Institute's Center for Representative Government. War expands the powers of the presidency and the executive branch. President Bush's administration, for instance, has classified Yaser Esam Hamdi, an American captured in Afghanistan, as an "enemy combatant." That means he will not have the usual legal protections afforded the accused in U.S. courts. The Justice Department argues that the courts cannot review this determination because the president has a broad power to make war. This should concern all Americans. No less than the author of our Constitution, James Madison, reminds us why we should worry about an expansive presidency, especially in times of war. His words of warning echo down to us today as we face up to the fact that this will be a long battle against terror. Madison was not a national-security wimp. He once wrote to Thomas Jefferson that a vigorous federal government was essential to secure us "against external and internal danger." He also knew that religious fanatics endangered life and liberty. He embraced religious tolerance early in life when he saw in his native Virginia the injustices done by some Christian zealots who sought to compel faith through force. Yet Madison also understood that even a just war offers real dangers to liberty and republican government. In 1799, he wrote, "The testimony of all ages forces us to admit that war is among the most dangerous of all enemies to liberty." Four years earlier, he stated, "No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare."

Extractions: 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.
