We actually call him Father of the Constitution, and that's because he was the main drafter of the Virginia Plan (and a lot of its resolves were adopted into our Constitution), greatly influenced the shape of the Constitution at the Convention, wrote 1/3 of the Federalist Papers, wrote the Bill of Rights, and served as an authority on it.
James Madison was known as the father of the constitution because he supposedly was one of the people who worked really hard on the constitution. He also made it happen by reading some essays from France that his friend Tomas Jefferson sent him. Madison read about how they ran their country in the ancient times and he decided he would apply that in the US. Madison then call a meeting to discuss about how to run the government. At the beginning some people wouldn't accept his ideas but others were easy to convince. Then, he was always prepare for his meetings and he worked really hard to make the Virginia Plan and have the constitution written. So Madison actually helped to write the constitution. Thank you for asking.

James Madison report was able to make the congress to issue a formal call to the states for a constitution convention.
He authored the book, was (Father) in that sense, like Jack London and the Call of The Wild, or Edgar Rice Burroughs and Tarzan.
Madison and Hamilton called for a constitutional convention because they wanted the Americans to get there rights.
He wasn't brave as we use the word today. He was intelligent, stubborn, a founding father of the constitution, a president, a lawyer. He never did anything brave. Didn't fight in the revolution. The word brave is overused today. A brave person does something extraordinary like saving a life or going into the Twin Towers. To call others "brave" for some small acts takes the honor from people who are actually brave.
