Inhaltsangabe
Although James Madison was intimately involved in the writing of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, served as Thomas Jefferson's Secretary of State, and was a two-term President, contemporary Americans know so little about James Madison and his work, that he is often referred to as the forgotten founder. Liberty & Learning celebrates the 200th Anniversary of James Madison's Presidency and provides a logical and compelling case that Madison is the most advanced political theorist in American History.
Liberty and Learning: the Essential James Madison sets the record straight. In this highly readable account of James Madison's life and times, author Philip Bigler, director of the James Madison Center in Harrisonburg, Virginia, explores specific themes such as Madison s belief in public education, his advocacy of religious freedom, his Constitutional philosophy, and his essential belief in republicanism. Bigler also deals directly with Madison s failure in regards to slavery.
Highly informative and authoritative appendices highlight interesting facts about James and Dolley Madison and provide relevant information about Madison s life and contributions to the American republic. Complete with color illustrations, bibliography and index, Liberty and Learning: the Essential James Madison makes Madison's relevance to contemporary society clear. With the Constitution remaining the essential foundation of our republican form of government, the principles that guided Madison responsible government, the rule of law, the right to free and open debate, the separation of power, and the nobility of public service are as significant today as ever.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: New. 1st Edition. Philip Bigler brings light to James Madison's intellectual contributions during the infancy of our nation in a way that is accessible to all readers and not reserved for scholars. Going issue by issue -- education, religious freedom, republicanism -- Bigler shows that Madison, from his time as a curious student to his years as president of the United States, displayed a genius that benefits our country to this day. Levar Stoney, a leader of the Democratic Party of Virginia, finds it paradoxical that Madison would not likely have openly supported President Barack Obama, an African-American who now leads a party that traces its origins to the Democratic-Republican Party founded by Madison and Thomas Jefferson. Still, the very rights President Obama has embraced -- equality and freedom of opportunity -- were rights that Madison ultimately helped guarantee for all Americans through his authorship of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Although he may have had misgivings about the institution of slavery, his otherwise useful pragmatism clouded any sort of intervention that may have changed our nation's course early on. Bigler does not shrink from that assessment in this book. Despite his shortcomings on the issue of slavery, Madison promoted the idea that an educated and virtuous body politic was necessary for a truly free society. This is an ideal that both current Republican and Democratic parties strive to protect in spite of the discourse we may experience today. LIBERTY AND LEARNING captures the personal and human side of this founding father, whether good or bad, and has done a wonderful job in highlighting the unsung heroics of James Madison.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Hardback. Zustand: New. Published to mark the bicentennial of James Madison's presidency, this volume by Philip Bigler and Annie Lorsbach examines the life and contributions of a founder whose legacy is often overshadowed by his more prominent contemporaries. The book traces Madison's pivotal role in drafting the Constitution and Bill of Rights, his tenure as Secretary of State under Thomas Jefferson, and his two terms as the fourth President of the United States. Particular attention is given to Madison's enduring belief that an educated citizenry was fundamental to the survival of a self-governing republic. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers NN-251012-shelf-7-046
