      By John P. Kaminski

      Constitutional Historian John Kaminski has gathered this remarkable collection of quotations by and about American founder James Madison for the third installment of his Word Portraits of America’s Foundersseries with the Wisconsin Historical Society Press. Through Madison’s own words and those of his peers, we learn more about one of the country’s most influential Founding Figures, a cerebral man and early president of the United States who held a lifelong commitment to liberty and whose Virginia Plan was used as a blueprint for the Constitutional Convention, where the Articles of Confederation was replaced with the new U.S. Constitution that bore traces of Madison’s influence throughout.
