Although no one disputes James Madison’s vital contributions to the establishment of the Constitution, he is also an enigmatic figure and thinker. He is not easily categorized. Was he a liberal or a republican, a nationalist or a states’-righter? Instead of using an ideological shorthand to try to characterize his vital mind and political actions, this seminar will examine Madison by looking seriously at his thought in search of the philosophical consistency that he himself claimed to have.

Gary Rosen is author of American Compact: James Madison and the Problem of Founding.
