The Cambridge Companion to The Federalist
The eighty-five Federalist essays written by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison as 'Publius' to support the ratification of the Constitution in 1787–88 are regarded as the preeminent American contribution to Western political theory. Recently, there have been major developments in scholarship on the Revolutionary and Founding era as well as increased public interest in constitutional matters that make this a propitious moment to refl…
Civic Friendship in America
Given the current and serious political polarization in America, we are compelled to ask whether a nation composed of citizens who disagree so deeply about fundamental principles can endure. Like the classics, America's Founding Father James Madison believed that concord and civic friendship are necessary to the maintenance of a healthy political order. This essay explores Madison's vision of civic friendship in America and asks how the bonds of …
A Symposium on American National Character
The articles in this symposium address four themes in relation to the question of American national character: citizenship (Rogers M. Smith), community mores (Rick Santorum), participation (W. B. Allen), and governance (Philip A. Wallach). They are the beginning of our effort to investigate, assess, articulate, and perhaps claim—or reclaim—an ethos shared by the American people. Emerging out of the first phase of our American National Character p…
Public Opinion and the Formation of Civic Character in Madison's Republican Theory
John Adams's complaints notwithstanding, no one of the American Founding generation has been so consistently misunderstood as James Madison. In recent decades a small handful of scholars have made significant strides toward correcting the Madisonian record. In addition to the justly acclaimed study of Madison by Lance Banning, The Sacred Fire of Liberty, the thoughtful work of Alan Gibson stands out in this regard. In particular, Professor Gibson…
Madison v. Hamilton
This article examines the causes of the dispute between James Madison and Alexander Hamilton in the early 1790s. Though Hamilton initially believed that Madison's opposition to the Federalist administration was probably motivated by personal animosity and political advantage, in later years he concluded what Madison had long argued: the controversy between Republicans and Federalists stemmed from a difference of principle. For Madison, republican…
Madison and the French Enlightenment
N 1791-1792 James Madison published at least nineteen unsigned articles in Philip Freneau's National Gazette, a Philadelphia newspaper that he and Thomas Jefferson had recently helped to establish in the nation's temporary capital city. The objective of the paper to circulate republican ideas on the issues of the day and to counteract the effects of the systematically pro-administration newspaper, the Gazette of the United States. One of Madison'…

The Politics of Public Opinion
N _o one of America's Founders has engendered as much confusion and controversy among historians and political scientists as James Madison. The question that is most perplexing concerns his theory of republicanism, its meaning and its implications for practical politics. In I79I-I792 Madison penned a set of notes that, though rarely studied and never comprehensively treated by scholars, epitomizes his political theory and may well be the key to s…
