Mcdonald, Forrest. Novus Ordo Seclorum: The Intellectual Origin of the Constitution. Kansas: University Press of Kansas, October 1986.
The author of this book examines how Madison's ideas were rejected more than half that were proposed. A quote that speaks about Mcdonald's feelings towards Madison contributions would be "Overall, of seventy-one specific proposals that Madison moved, seconded, or spoke unequivocally in regard to, he was on the losing side forty times." This shows how some historians didn't think Madison lived up to what he's made out to be.
