About this audiobook
James Madison (who lived from March 16, 1751 to June 28th, 1836) was an American statesman, diplomat, expansionist, theorist, and Founding Father who worked as the United States' 4th president from 1809 to 1817. For his essential role in the creation and big promotion of the US Constitution and the US Bill of Rights, he's referred to as the "Father of the Constitution." From 1801 till 1809, he functioned as the 5th Secretary of State of the United States, co-authoring The Federalist Documents and co-founding the Democratic-Republican Party.
James Madison has meant a lot to the constitution of the United States of America. Let’s take a look at his actions, his background, and his motives.
