      <title>James Madison and the Constitution</title>
      <description>A panel discussion was held on James Madison and the U.S. Constitution. James Madison was a delegate to the Continental Congress, the Father of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, a founder of his party, and one of the first presidents of the United States. Yet James Madison remains relatively uncelebrated. Three experts discussed Madison's enormous achievements and his legacy, and debated why he has so often been denied his rightful place among America's most important Founding Fathers.
 
 
 
 
 "James Madison and the Constitution," a program in the "The American Constitution" series at the New York Historical Association, was presented in collaboration with Americans For Madison.</description>

      <title>Book Discussion on [Madison and Jefferson]</title>
      <description>Andrew Burstein and Nancy Isenberg present a dual biography of James Madison and Thomas Jefferson. The authors focus on the third and fourth American presidents' relationship and their affect on the American political system. Professors Burstein and Isenberg argue that although Thomas Jefferson is the more often recognized figure, it was James Madison who played a key role in the development of the two-party system and gave the early push to elect George Washington to the presidency. Mr. Burstein and Ms. Isenberg presented their book in Jefferson's Library at Thomas Jefferson's Monticello in Charlottesville, Virginia. They responded to questions from members of the audience.</description>

      <title>Book Discussion on [James Madison and the Making of America]</title>
      <description>Kevin Gutzman recounted the legislative career of James Madison, which he called the most under-emphasized aspect of his career. Professor Gutzman contends that Madison's political life was complicated and marked by his contrarian ideas about the need for the Bill of Rights and the failings of the U.S. Constitution, two documents that he assisted in drafting, and his thoughts on the negative impact of political parties. He responded to questions from members of the audience at the Mid-Manhattan Branch of the New York Public Library in New York City.</description>

      <title>A Critique of Madisonian Democracy</title>
      <description>Mr. Chomsky examined the principle and practice of democracy in the U.S. over the past 200 years. He argued that the democratic order encapsulated in the Constitution, principally by James Madison, declared the right to own property as the preeminent foundation of the social order and was therefore designed to protect those who owned property by ensuring their control over the government. He also argued that this system has not evolved to include broader segments of the population, as some have claimed, but has made possible the development of industrial capitalism which depends on governmental largesse and exploits the bulk of the population. After his remarks, he took questions from the audience.</description>
