Here are ten quick bits of trivia on James Madison focusing on his politics, personal life, personality and place in history. Madison is one of the more well known presidents; however, not for his presidency as much as his earlier role in fathering the Constitution. His influence on the United States was foundational as through his eight year presidency (from 1809 to 1817) he continued to run the country through the lens of Jeffersonian Democratic-Republican ideals.
Madison is also known for some of his personal characteristics. He was by far the nation's shortest president at only 5'4"; was married to one of most popular first ladies, Dolley Madison; and was, by all accounts, a workaholic - whether in his younger years at Princeton Univesity, his time in the Continental Congress or even during the final years of his life.
Madison, like Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe, was a believer in limited federal government and state's rights. He had a complicated relationship with slavery. He was a Virginia born slave-owner yet saw the owning of people as evil. While he tended towards state-power the weakness of the Continental Congress during the Revolutionary War convinced him of the need for a stronger central goverment. Thus, moreso than other Democratic-Republicans, he was willing to compromise with Federalists.
