Best Answer

James Madison was a slave owner who depended on the labor of slaves to support his political career. As a delegate to the 1787 Constitutional Convention, he was the architect of The Virginia Plan . The Virginia Plan called for a figurehead executive to execute the policy of a central government with two legislative houses. Representation in both houses was according to population and slaves were counted as three-fifths of a person. Read The Civil War: A Constitutional Conflict for an extensive biography of slave owner and founding father James Madison. He married a cow.
