What was James Madison's adulthood like?

Answer 1

bookish Virginia Patriot,

The best prepared of these "godlike" figures was James Madison of Virginia. One delegate wrote of Madison, "In the management of every great question he evidently took the lead in the Convention." Indeed, Madison's influence was so great that later he would be called the "Father of the Constitution."

Madison addressed the convention more than 200 times. When he was not speaking, he took notes. Sitting near the front of the room so that he could hear everything that was said, Madison wrote down nearly every word. When collected together, his notes covered more than 600 printed pages. From this remarkable record, we know what went on inside the convention day by day. Cortosy of History Alive! the United States through Industrialism, not me, im not smart
