Madison, along with a core of men, was involved in the very start of the revolution. The revolution was produced by a group of men who interacted with each other to create a nation. He wasn't involved in the revolution and since 1776 had taken part in VA government as much as he was involved in the creation of the constitution and the Bill of Rights. He was all ready in Congress when the convention was called. In a letter to Washington he had outlined the most important points that were to be debated in the convention. He had studied the different republics and wrote long essays comparing governments. He was ready to create a constitution.

George Washington was Commander in Chief of the army. He was not present when the Articles of Confederation was written. James Madison realized that the Articles of Confederation were fatally flawed and wrote the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights to replace the Articles of Confederation.
