Note*   He was known as the father of the Constitution because of his central role
in the Constitutional Convention. Madison was one of the founders of the
Jeffersonian Republican (Democratic-Republican) party in the 1790s, and he
served as secretary of state (1801-9) under Thomas Jefferson.

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.

The Constitutional Convention

Working with other proponents of a strong central government, Madison was
largely instrumental in persuading Congress to summon a convention to
revise the Articles of Confederation, or federal constitution. At the
convention, which met in Philadelphia in May 1787, Madison played a
leading role. He drafted the Virginia Plan (introduced by Edmund Randolph)
that became the basis for the structure of the new government. In
accordance with his views, the Constitution provided for a separation of
powers with a system of checks and balances. He was responsible for the
creation of a strong executive with a veto and a judiciary with power to
override state laws. His journal of the proceedings (pub. 1840)
constitutes the sole record of the debates. With Alexander Hamilton and
John Jay he drafted essays (The Federalist Papers) in defense of the
Constitution to rebut those fearful of centralized power. His argument
that liberty would be more secure in a large unit than in small ones
because no group would be able to form an absolute majority has been
confirmed by subsequent experience. In the Virginia Constitutional
Convention he led the successful fight for ratification against the
opposition of Patrick Henry.

The Washington, Adams, and Jefferson Administrations

Elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1789, Madison sponsored
the first ten amendments to the Constitution (known as the Bill of Rights)
to fulfill a pledge made during the fight over ratification, when it was
charged that the Constitution failed to protect individual rights. In 1791
he broke with Alexander Hamilton and the Federalists, opposing the fiscal
policy of the Washington administration. He joined Thomas Jefferson and
James Monroe in founding the Democratic-Republican party to counteract the
centralizing and aristocratic tendencies of the Federalists then in power.

Madison retired from Congress in 1797. In the following year he drafted
the Virginia Resolutions, condemning as unconstitutional the Alien and
Sedition Acts, by which the Federalists had sought to cripple their
opponents. These resolves, echoing those drafted by Jefferson and adopted
by the Kentucky legislature, asserted the right of the states to nullify
federal laws. In 1799 and 1800 Madison served in the Virginia legislature.

As secretary of state under Thomas Jefferson, he endeavored without
success to secure European recognition of principles of neutral rights
advanced by the U.S. during the Napoleonic Wars. He also failed to
persuade the British to abandon their interference with U.S. trade and to
cease impressment of American sailors on the high seas.

Madison as President

Elected president in 1809 with 122 electoral votes to 47 for the
Federalist candidate Charles Pinckney, Madison approved the repeal of the
embargo by which Jefferson had tried to avoid war through a ban on trade
with the warring European powers. Tensions between the United States and
Britain continued, however, and Madison's conduct of foreign policy was
increasingly criticized both by the Federalists and by members of his own
party. In 1812 Madison asked Congress for a declaration of war against
Great Britain. On the day that war was declared (June 12, 1812), the
British repealed their trade restrictions (Orders in Council). Because
they would not abandon impressment, however, Madison refused to conclude a
truce pending formal peace negotiations.

The War of 1812 was badly managed by Secretary of War John Armstrong
(1758-1843), who failed to take seriously the threat of a British
invasion. When a British invasion force captured Washington in 1814,
Armstrong was replaced by James Monroe. Peace negotiations at Ghent in
Belgium resulted (December 1814) in a treaty that settled none of the
outstanding issues. Andrew Jackson's victory over the British at New
Orleans, although it occurred after the signing of the peace, was widely
regarded as a vindication of American arms in a war many considered a
second American revolution.

In domestic affairs Madison yielded to the rising tide of nationalist
sentiment. Before leaving office he signed a bill for a protective tariff
and agreed to the chartering of a national bank (the Second Bank of the
United States), a measure he had vehemently opposed in 1791. In foreign
affairs his most important action after the war was to negotiate an
agreement (the Rush-Bagot Agreement) for permanent demilitarization of the
frontier between the U.S. and Canada. The Rush-Bagot Agreement was
ratified after Madison left office.

Retirement

Retiring to his estate, Montpelier in Orange County, Virginia, Madison
avoided further participation in party politics but did express his
support for President Andrew Jackson when South Carolina revived the
controversy over nullification of federal laws in 1832. He helped
Jefferson found the University of Virginia and became its rector in 1826.
He was also a member of the Virginia Constitutional Convention of 1829.
