    In answer to your question: President Madison was a genius in studying a subject, recognizing the subject’s strengths and weaknesses, and creating a solution. His system of checks and balances on the branches of American government solved the problem of not giving too much power to any government branch. Excellent documentary!

      @Robert Stephenson Madison was a member of the Episcopalian church. His zeal for the Gospel of Christ waned due to his health issues. Madison referred to his ailments as" the black biles." In her book, on James Madison,Lynne Cheney writes that Madison is probably suffering from some form of epilepsy. However, he still remained a member of the Episcopalian church.

      @越南小美女 Vietnam Beauties :: When you want to learn about the history of a country, especially the United States, you have to read many angles to cut through the BS ! And the United States' History is full of buffalo-chips.
      1.
      Madison, as with most Federalists, did not believe in Democracy. He believed that the government should protect the "minority of the opulent" ( his class ), from the majority of the landless/poor/disenfranchised.
      2.
      Democracy was a danger to the class-structure. They ( the Founders ), met in secret and throw-out the Articles of Confederation because it wasn't strong enough to suit the interests of the Property-Owners/Slave-holders/ Financiers & Creditors/Land-speculators/ Wall-Street ... they were lawyers writing that document.
      3.
      The representatives of the 13 Colonies had an agreement that there could be no changes to the AOC without a consensus of the 13. The Founders immediately ignored that agreement by meeting secretly in the first place.
      4.
      Democracy was a dangerous idea. That is way they pushed for a Republic. They had a very difficult time with Ratification. In order to get the Constitution Ratified, concessions had to be made ... the Federalists had to enter The Bill of Rights into the Constitution. It was not Madison's idea. He wrote The Bill of Rights because he was the main writer, but _his_ writings were basically dictation from Colonial Representatives who would not have been on-board, otherwise ...
      Madison's idea was to keep the people busy working in the factories. Women and children would be especially useful in factory-work, most especially, children.
      There are many lies told to us about American History. This channel continues that tradition ; secondly, you do your dead countrymen/women & children a great disservice by forgetting the Vietnam War.
      You cannot enjoy history and forget it at the same time --- that's non-sensical.
      _Read Noam Chomsky/Michael Parenti & Howard Zinn before stepping-off that plane that lands you here._

    The war of 1812 was so ballsy. I believe that was a pivotal moment for American independence he doesn’t get enough credit for. Without the treaty of Ghent and the difficult time Britain had defeating the USA it is fair to say Britain might be supporting Mexico during polks imperialism. Reckless as it was the result of sweeping patriotism came at the perfect time to set our independence in stone once and for all.

    An informative series, though being from Virginia, I find it odd every time the narrator pronounces 'Maryland' 'Mary Land'--as indeed it is spelled--instead of 'Marilyn' the way I've always heard it said. I especially bring that up because I also find it odd that he assumed a French accent every time he said 'Montpelier' as if it were in France and not America.

    "John Adams began writing pro views on hereditary government" @24:00 Very hard to believe John Adams would write anything but disdain for hereditary monarchy. Where was he writing this? In writing the constitution for Massachusetts he wrote that 'No one is born a magistrate, or a lawyer, the idea is absurd'. He was also known to have yelled when asked if the British might negotiate justly in their dealings with the new USA, fist on the table, he declared there is no more justice in England than there is in hell!

    A point of interest, 15 US president's were confirmed Freemasons. Was Madison a freemason.? On February 11, 1795, John Francis Mercer, Governor of Maryland, wrote the following to Madison in a letter which still exists in the Library of Congress: "I have had no opportunity of congratulating you before on your becoming a Free Mason - a very ancient and honorable fraternity." Freemasonry played a role throughout George Washington's life, joining the Lodge in Fredericksburg, Virginia in 1752, through his death, where brothers of Alexandria Lodge performed Masonic rites at his funeral. There's much more that could be said but Freemasonry in Colonial America is a fact that most Americans are not aware of and freemasons along with their ideologies associated with the craft are very much present in US politics to-date.😎

    Unfortunately, in Argentina, the general Carrera was not received. He got imprisoned and had his fleet confiscated.
