Summary

"Of all the illustrious men in the cadre known as the American Founding Fathers, history has bestowed the title "Father of the Constitution" on only one of them-James Madison. During his lifetime, James Madison rejected the accuracy of that appellation, but it is one he unquestionably earned. Madison recognized the momentous nature of the time in which he lived, and profoundly understood the historic significance of his position as a member (some would argue "the" member) of the Convention of 1787 and the concomitant responsibility of forming a functioning, dynamic, restrained government that would best fit the republican genius of the American people"-- Provided by publisher.
