Books with title James Madison

James Madison, who was a determined and intelligent man, became the fourth American president and was nicknamed the “Father of the Constitution”. These two roles would later define his life not only during his term as president but as a young congressman and lover of politics. He carried other titles along the way, such as Husband and Father, though he had no children of his own. Some remember him for the Embargo Act of 1807, others for his shaping of the U.S. Constitution. However, for many, Madison is remembered for his extensive studies and passion to make the U.S. a strong, regulated government.
