I could ask Dolley Madison more than one question. The main question I like to ask her it, how do you like been a president's wife?
James Madison
The Madison's plan did advocate for a very strong central government that would unify the people.
Laws would have been stricter if Washington had listened to Madison and Jefferson's interpretation of the constitution. - opinion
James Madison believed that a pure democracy was unsuitable for the United States because it could lead to the tyranny of the majority, where the rights of minority groups could be easily overlooked or violated. He argued that a republic, with its system of elected representatives and a framework of checks and balances, would better protect individual liberties and prevent the potential chaos and instability that could arise in a direct democracy. Madison emphasized the need for a government that could manage the diverse interests of a large nation and ensure a stable and just society.
Madison feared that the house of representatives would dominate.
I am not sure what you mean about 300. If you would explain I will be glad to answer your question.
Dolley Madison was born on May 20, 1768 and died on July 12, 1849. Dolley Madison would have been 81 years old at the time of death or 247 years old today.
Since Anna was 8 years younger than Dolley, Anna would have been 4 years old when Dolley was 12. (http://www.nndb.com/people/644/000126266/ birth dates are at the bottom)
Dolley would have been 46 when she saved the important papers and artifacts from the White House from the British in 1812.
Dolley Madison was very bubbly, sweet and always had something nice to say. She would often host parties and entertain guests. She was also something of a matchmaker. She was very helpful to her husband (President Madison) because he was very shy and softspoken.
As a child and a young woman, Dolley was a Quaker. Quakers of that epoch could not wear anything fancy. They could only wear very plain clothes, without any makeup, or without any jewelry. Once Dolley married James Madison, she switched over to his religion, and became an Episcopalian. She could now wear whatever type of clothing she wanted. Once she became this rich plantation owners wife, Dolley cast off her plain clothes and wore fancy dress that were often made of French fabrics. Along with the dress, she would often wear a velvet turban on her head that often had feathers sticking out. Once she became the first lady, Dolley Madison was a trend setter indeed.
I would say Philadelphia. Her family moved there while she was a young and she married and lived in Philadelphia with her first husband.
Dolley Payne Todd, later to be known as Dolley Madison lived with her first husband and family in Philadelphia. Their home, still standing, is on the corner of 4th and Walnut Streets. It is a part of the Independence National Historical Park and is open for tours. See the park's website for details! www.nps.gov/inde
In her free time she would read novels, write letters, or pay social calls to women in her circle.
While being first lady british soldiers attacked the white house. Before leaving to save herself Dolley and some servants saved valubles from within the white houe that would have been lost in the fire had she not save them
Dolley Madison is famously known for saving a portrait of George Washington during the British attack on the White House in 1814. As the British troops approached, she insisted on retrieving the large painting from the walls, ensuring it would not be destroyed. Her actions not only preserved an important national symbol but also highlighted her role in American history as a strong and resilient First Lady.
Dolley Madison ordered a grand piano for the White House. She believed that having a piano would enhance the social and cultural life of the presidential residence, allowing for musical entertainment during gatherings. The instrument symbolized her commitment to establishing a refined and elegant atmosphere in the White House.
