after "[t]he same department" the Federalist goes on to say "[c]onsists in giving to those who administer each department the necessary constitutional means and personal motives to resist encroachments of the others."

well i think he rote a jurnal that happed back then so he wrote to tell us what happed im 10 :p

He was the principal author of the document. In 1788, he wrote over a third of the Federalist Papers, still the most influential commentary on the Constitution.

Madison first asserts that there are two ways to limit the damage caused by faction: either remove the causes of faction or control its effects. He contends that there are two ways to remove the causes that provoke the development of factions. The first would work because "liberty is to faction what air is to fire" but it is impossible to perform because liberty is essential to political life and is what Americans have fought for during the revolutionary war. The other, creating a society homogeneous in opinions and interests, he sees as impractical. Impractical because common people's opinions are always influenced by their emotions and their self-interest. They don't always think clearly, they don't approach situations in the same way. The diversity of people's ability which make them succeed more or less and in which inequality of property derive is a right that the government should protect. Madison particularly emphasizes that economic stratification, which naturally exists in a world where different people have different skills, prevents everyone from sharing the same opinion. Madison concludes that the damage caused by faction can be limited only by controlling its effects.

He then argues that the only problem comes from majority factions because the principle of popular sovereignty should prevent minority factions from gaining power. Madison offers two ways to check majority factions: either prevent the "existence of the same passion or interest in a majority at the same time," or render a majority faction unable to act. Madison concludes that a small democracy cannot avoid the dangers of majority faction because small size means that undesirable passions can very easily spread to a majority of the people, which can then enact its will through the democratic government without difficulty.

Dolley Madison had a happy childhood. Her father and mother were Quakers. Family time was important in her home. The whole family shared stories and sang songs. Dolley attended school and was considered lucky because Quakers thought that school wasn't as important for girls than learning how to sew, knit, cook, and etc... Dolley loved to go to picnics, tea parties, meetings, and other social events.

James and Dolly Madison lived in the Octagon House following the burning of the White House during the War of 1812. The Octagon House served as a temporary residence for the Madisons while the White House was being rebuilt.

James Madison became father of the constitution for a few reasons, first he wrote down almost every event that happened in the writing of the constitution, second he was the one who came up with the idea for three branches of government, even though it was Edmund Randolph who suggested the idea at the convention, Madison was the one who told Randolph to suggest the plan at a pub the night before, this three branch form of government was the basis for most of the constitution, and it was for these reasons that Madison was named father of the constitution.

Her remarkable affability made it possible for her to help her less charismatic husband achieve his political goals.

I do not know. He might ask, "Why did you copy off of me? You're James M. and I'm also James M. what happened?!"

It is said that james's people were spying around during a meeting that they werent supposed to be at. James had no idea about this though. The federalits found out about they spying after he was put into office. They then decided tp impeach him. No one really knows the whole truth of the story.

Background: Madison was born to Colonel James Madison and Eleanor Rose Conway in Port Conway, Virginia. His parents were slave owners and also owners of a tobacco plantation in Orange County. His parents believed in the Church of England, which was the way Madison was raised. He went to the College of New Jersey and went on to study with John Witherspoon. From 1776-1779, Madison served in the Virginia state legislature. Madison then put together the Virginia Plan, which created the three-branch system and is still used till this day.
