The Notes of Debates in the Federal Convention of 1787 is the record of debate notes kept during the Constitutional Convention by Founding Father James Madison. Several Founders took notes during the debates, but Madison's notes are considered to be the most in-depth and complete.
The existence of the very large volume of debate transcripts was not known until Madison passed away in 1836.[1] They reached publication four years after his passing.[2]
