James Madison is remembered primarily as a systematic political theorist, but he was also a practical politician who strove for balance in an age of revolution. Broadwater focuses on Madison's role in the battle for religious freedom in Virginia, his contributions to the adoption of the Constitution, his place in the evolution of the party system, his relationship with Dolley Madison, his performance as a wartime commander-in-chief, and his views on slavery.
