Died: June 28, 1836 in Orange, Virginia
James Madison (1751-1836), the fourth President of the United States (1809-1817) had rendered enormous service to his country even before attaining that office. He has been called "the Father of the Constitution," as an influential voice at the Constitutional Convention and most convincing exponent - as the primary author of the Federalist Papers - of the Constitution's design. As leader of the 1st Congress, he was the chief framer of the Bill of Rights - the first 10 Amendments to the Constitution. He was Secretary of State under President Jefferson (1801-1809) and an original organizer of the Democratic-Republican Party, progenitor of the Democratic Party.
