Best Answer

James Madison was America's fourth president, but before that, he had a distinguished career as a legislator and a statesman. Before he was elected president, he helped to frame the Virginia state Constitution, served in the Continental Congress, and was a leader in the Virginia Assembly. He was a strong advocate for the ratification of the U.S. Constitution. While serving in Congress, he was a major contributor to (and some sources say he wrote) what became the Bill of Rights. He also served as Secretary of State under President Thomas Jefferson, during which he supervised the Louisiana Purchase.
