Synopsis

An international law context for Madison’s notes on the debates of the Federal Convention of 1787. Since the Federal Convention of 1787 was “in fact as well as in form an international conference,” Scott examines James Madison’s notes from the perspective of international law. Founding father, statesman and political theorist, James Madison [1751–1836] was the primary author of the United States Constitution. While a member of the First Congress, he drafted the Bill of Rights and helped to organize the new Federal government. Along with Alexander Hamilton and John Jay, he was one of the authors of The Federalist. He established the Democratic-Republican Party with Thomas Jefferson. Elected in 1809, Madison served two terms as president. He was, without question, one of the most influential national leaders in the early years of the United States. xviii, 149pp.
