Second Annotation

Wills, Garry. James Madison. New york: Henry Holt and Company, 2002.

In this book by Garry Wills there is a few chapters on the role played by James Madison

Patrick Henry used fear to oppose sending a representative off to the capital. He was against trusting an individual to defend the state's interest. Meanwhile Madison thought everyone should rely on the code of a gentlemen.
