First Annotation

Kauffmann, Bruce G.. "James Madison " Godfather of the Constitution"". Archiving Early American. 10-16-08 http://www.earlyamerica.com/review/summer97/madison.html

The author of this website gives opinions and facts of James Madison's contributions debated by past historians. The website shows that Madison could be known as a father of the Constitution, or argue as more of a godfather of the Constitution, which declares George Washington the father.


This web page breaks down James Madison's main priorities, such as the Articles need replacing, not amending and that there needed to be a strong central government that could keep the state governments in line. This plan later came into place when Madison produced the Virginia Plan.
