About this listen

Explore the captivating life of James Madison.

James Madison earned the title “Father of the Constitution”. How did this man who was diminutive of stature with a weak constitution produce such an energetic document? Through more than 200 years, it stands like a silent sentinel to protect the freedom and independence of the American people.

It was a time when the Americans were weary from the tumult of the Revolution, but Madison’s job had barely begun. He realized it was up to him now to help fashion the future of a country that would outlive him.

Although characterized as introverted and pensive, Madison had a ferocious absorption to persevere until he could effectively shepherd the Constitution through all the logistical stages necessary to make it real.
