This Convention framed the Constitution of the United States, and of it Mr. Madison was a leading member.

Madison, as was now his habit, had doubts as to the propriety of the measure.

" James Madison was Mr. Jefferson's secretary of state; Henry Dearborn was secretary of war, and Levi Lincoln, attorney-general.

Madison was five feet six and a quarter inches tall, slim and delicate in physique, with a pale student's face lit up by bright hazel eyes.

Madison was a big town but it overflowed so bad.

The battle of words had to be fought by younger and more vigorous men, of whom, perhaps, Madison was the most prominent.

The first place of note was Madison the capital of the territory, situated on a block of land nearly surrounded by four lakes, all plainly seen from the big house.

Madison at this time was a small village, but, besides the Capitol, contained several buildings of respectable size and appearance.

To these alarming predictions the advocates of ratification replied with strong and temperate reasoning, and, while Madison was their leader, among those who won distinction in the contest stood Marshall.
