'''James Madison'''<ref>James Madison did not have a middle name.</ref> was the 4th [[President of the United States of America]], serving from 1809-1817. Madison took copious notes at the [[Constitutional Convention]] of 1787 and, contrary to the promise of secrecy, did not destroy them as everyone else did.  The records reflect that virtually every one of Madison's suggestions at the convention was rejected.  Nevertheless, [[liberals]] like to call Madison the "Father of the [[Constitution]]," perhaps because Madison was more critical of  religion in government than the other [[Founding Fathers]].
