James+Madison


 * [[image:christianheritage/jamesmadison.jpg]] || Quote about God or the Bible:

" We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future of all of our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government; upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the TEN COMMANDMENTS OF GOD." || //** The purpose of separation of church and state ** // //** is to keep forever from these shores the ceaseless strife ** // //** that has soaked the soil of Europe with blood for centuries. ** // || = Life Overview: = Born: March 16, 1751, in Port Conway, Virginia... James Madison, the "Father of the Constitution," co-authored The Federalist Papers, helped to establish a system of checks and balances for the federal government, and, as a congressman, sponsored the Bill of Rights. As president, Madison helped establish the Democratic-Republican Party of Jeffersonian ideals. He asked Congress to declare war on Britain in 1812, and the war began so badly that by fighting to a draw, Americans of 1815 felt they had earned a victory and were swept up in a self-congratulating nationalism. A slight man of less than 100 pounds, Madison's marriage to the buxom and vivacious Dolley Payne Todd surprised many and provided the nation with one of its great First Ladies... Died: June 28, 1836. || US Presidents Home Page
