James Madison

Assumption, outlined in the Report on Public Credit, would make the federal government more powerful. But it was the cornerstone of Hamilton's entire program and Hamilton was willing to give up New York, manipulate Virginia's numbers, and make compromises to get it passed (Compromise of 1790, history's most famous dinner). A national bank, outlined in the Report on the National Bank, had a foundation based on the elastic clause, or the necessary-and-proper clause. Jefferson and Madison thought that not only was a bank not necessary, it would put all the economic power in the cities (which they minded, but Hamilton didn't), and it was a perversion of the Constitution. They were strict constructionists and thought the Constitution should be taken literally. Hamilton, on the other hand, did not. They, Jefferson in particular, wanted the wealth of America to stay in the farmland and agriculture. Both Virginia plantation owners, Hamilton's plan for a diversified manufacturing based economy frightened them. They hated cities, especially Jefferson, and didn't want to see anything there. They thought Hamilton was trying to control the government, plain and simple, and passing his plans wasn't going to help (appeasement). They weren't totally unfounded in their accusations - Hamilton did make the Treasury Department huge, what with the US Mint, the National Bank, the Coast Guard, the Customs Service, and had more clerks working for him than the State and War departments combined. But, of course, Hamilton wasn't. Yet Jefferson and Madison were absolutely terrified of what he could do - he was what people then would call "an intriguer". They thought the economic program was the first step.

Thomas Jefferson was the Secretary of State. Hamilton was the Secretary of Treasury.

because he did good answer

No doubt his wife and adopted son, but he is considered 'the father of the Bill of Rights', the first ten Amendments. So politically speaking he would probably cherish those rights.

James Madison officially quit his law practice in 1784. After serving in the Continental Congress and becoming increasingly involved in politics, he decided to focus on public service rather than his legal career. Madison's transition marked the beginning of his influential political career, culminating in his role as a founding father and the fourth President of the United States.

Tensions were high between the two (2) counties in 1809 because the British were still impressing our ships and we wanted war because we wanted to show the british that they cant mess with us.

I doubt that he did. He would not have any reason to. His friend and successor, James Monroe, of course, proclaimed his famous Monroe doctrine forbidding such practice, just 3 years after he left office.

Go tell it on the mountain.....

Yes, James Madison not only supported a strong national government, he insisted it should be the supreme power over the people. The large states were behind him on this issue.

Three hours is the typical driving time.

In James Madison's age there was no cell phones. That is just a silly question. Or did you mean the high school named James Madison?

NO- Madison did not stop slavery in the US. Slavery was not ended until many years later.

As of July 22nd, 2014, no information has been released indicating that they were related.

Madison knew Napoleon's motives, but he chose to gamble and see if the pairing of the France and America would make Britain sort of jealous and then open their ports to America. This Gamble did not work. Madison knew Napoleon's intention and he tried to play it for the best he could get, but it failed in the end.

Father of the Consitution

She is now buried at Montpelier next to her husband. She died in Washington in 1848 and was first buried in Congressional Cemetery, Washington, DC. Her remains were moved to Virginia in 1858.

No, I think he was never defeated . He won a race for Congress over James Monroe. He had to fight to get the Presidential nomination against Monroe and others, but prevailed.

no

he was too old

Madison remained Secretary of State under Thomas Jefferson until 1809, when he became the fourth President of the United States. Madison served as President until 1817.

After leaving office, Madison retired to his Virginia plantation, Montpelier, where he declined in physical and mental health, exhibiting symptoms that today may be recognized as obsessive-compulsive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder.

He later succeeded Thomas Jefferson as Rector, or President, of the University of Virginia, a position he held from 1826 until his death in 1836. There is some evidence he was bedridden with anxiety for several years of his tenure.

Madison was also selected to participate in the Virginia Constitutional Convention in 1829.

He was a friend of Martin Luther King and a civil rights leader.

The federalist papers

Madison opposed the 'Great Compromise'. He felt that both houses should be elected by the people from small districts. He felt that a senate representing state interests would violate the principal of majority rule.
