T e HE name of James Madison is inseparably linked with the United States Constitution of 1787. The chief spokesman at the Federal Convention for a radically new plan of government, Madison subsequently championed the Constitution as Publius in The Federalist and as a delegate to the Virginia ratifying convention; in I789 he brought the process of constitution-making to a successful close by guiding through the First Congress the amendments that became the Bill of Rights. For these achievements and for his lifelong role as a constitutional expositor, he has been justly acclaimed of the Constitution. The familiar image of Madison as Father and as the philosopher of American federalism, although not inaccurate, has contributed to a misunderstanding of his intentions and accomplishments at the Philadelphia Convention. There is a tendency to consider his thoughts and actions during and after the Convention all of a piece, to assume an identity between Madison the Convention deputy and Madison the author of the Publius essays. Historians and biographers see him as the dominant personality of the Convention, the mastermind of that historic assembly who overcame the obstacles of state particularism and sectional jealousy to fashion a new government that accorded with his principal ideas for a constitution.'
