This is a prizewinning highly personal biography of James Madison, father of the United States Constitution.

The author of this study investigates 18th-century social and economic thought - an intellectual world with its own vocabulary, concepts and assumptions - integrating the history of ideas and the history of public policy in the Jeffersonian era.

What makes this thoroughly researched study all the more enjoyable is McCoy's accomplishment as a biographer. He knows Madison, he is acquainted with the man rather than with an historical figure. As a result, the reader stands beside Madison in the stormy, antebellum decades.' -- James Robertson in the Richmond News Leader.
