James Madison bol americký politik a štvrtý prezident Spojených štátov, považovaný za „otca Ústavy“ a hlavného autora tohto dokumentu. Je tiež známy ako „otec Listiny práv“, keďže navrhol prvých desať dodatkov k Ústave. Madison veril v silné mechanizmy kontroly a rovnováhy na obmedzenie moci záujmov a bol hlboko oddaný vytváraniu inštitúcií, ktoré by zabezpečili republikanizmus v Spojených štátoch. Ako prezident viedol národ do vojny v roku 1812, ktorá posilnila nacionalizmus a zmenila jeho politické názory.
Bravúrne argumentujúce, pôsobivé články, ktoré – hoci vznikli v rokoch 1787 – 1788 na obhájenie Ústavy USA – dodnes patria k základným pilierom americkej politológie a ústavného práva. Určite si môžu nárokovať osobitnú pozornosť v kontexte každej demokracie.
