James Madison (1751-1836) was the 4th president of the U.S. (1809-17); b. Port Conway, Va. An early opponent of British colonial measures, he helped draft the Constitution for the new state of Virginia (1776), served in the Continental Congress (1780-83, 1787), and was a member of the Virginia legislature (1784-86). He was active in the call for the Annapolis Convention (1786), and his contributions at the Federal Constitutional Convention (1787) earned him the title master builder of the Constitution. A principal contributor to the Federalist Papers, he was largely responsible for securing ratification of the Constitution in Virginia. As a congressman from Virginia (1789-97), he was a strong advocate of the Bill of Rights. A steadfast enemy of the financial measures of Alexander Hamilton, he was a leading Jeffersonian and drew up the Virginia resolutions protesting the Alien and Sedition Acts. After Jefferson triumphed in the presidential election of 1800, Madison became (1801) his secretary of state. He succeeded Jefferson as president in 1809. The unpopular and unsuccessful War Of 1812, known disparagingly as Mr. Madisons War, was the chief event of his administration. His term in office witnessed the beginning of postwar national expansion and the rise of Jacksonian democracy. Retiring in 1817, he lived quietly at Montpelier with his wife, Dolley Madison, 1768-1849, b. Guilford, co., N.C., as Dolley Payne. She married Madison in 1794 (her first husband had died in 1793). As official White House hostess for Thomas Jefferson (who was a widower) and for her husband, she was noted for the magnificence of her entertainments, as well as for her charm, tact, and grace.
