17 Annotation

"James Madison - 4th President of the United States." 1911 edition Encyclopedia.

When James Madison spoke at the convention in Virginia to ratify the Constitution he was speaking against some of the most brilliant compelling minds at that time; Patrick Henry, George Mason, James Monroe, Benjamin Harrison, William Grayson and John Tyler. However, when he was victorious at the convention he had to thank his supporters; Edmund Pendleton, John Marshall, George Nicholas, Harry Innes and Henry Lee.
