James Madison:
James Madison (1751-1836) was the fourth president of the United
States (1809-1817) and had a distinguished public career that
covered more than 40 years. He served as secretary of state, and
ultimately president. Madison’s work on the Constitution of the
United States gave him his best opportunity to exercise his
great talents. He had an intense concern for religious and
intellectual freedom and that concern had led him to seek the
strongest possible safeguards of individual liberty. Madison can
be considered more responsible for making the Bill of Rights
part of the Constitution than any other person. |
