When the delegates and George Washington and some other important people met in philadelphia they were debating what to do with the article of confederation and how to make it better when James Madison came with the plan that they should have 3 branchs of government how we have today and to abolish the Article of confederation.
Madison took all the notes for the convention, so I don't imagine he said much since he was writing down what everyone said. It is because of him we know so much about the events of the convention. Some historians refer to him as "the father of the constitution."
