madison."an: noah feldman, what are the three lives of james madison that you wrote about? noah: the first life is the one that is most famous. that is where he created the constitution. not only in our country but also the greatest constitutional genius and the world. in his second life he discovered the constitution was not perfect. he thought he had thought against political parties, he actually founded the republican party to fight the federalist party and alexander hamilton. he became a partisan very much against his own wishes. in his third life he got to be secretary of state for eight years and president for eight more created he got to take on all of the decisions when you are running the show, and faithfully taking us into the first war. very much against the principles of his lifetime. which was against the standing army and the navy. brian: talk about him as a person, size and health problems, and all that. noah: he was very different than the other founders. he was very much in his

madison and dolley madison preferred always to be together.a half-century of marriage, there were apart for only a couple months, only because dolley was sick and needed a doctor in a different town. in that time, they wrote each other three times per day. they were a deeply close and loving couple. it is a shame we don't have the written record to bear that out. we could talk about a lot of different times in his life but you just mentioned the war , of 1812, you have this sentence, madison emerged from the war a hero. why and what was that war all about? noah: the war of 1812 was almost an incredible disaster. it began because the u.s. was excluded from trading with european ports. brian: why was that? noah: in this period of time, the british and french empire functioned like the european union or nafta. they were free trade zones. when the united states seceded from great britain, the united states lost access to british ports. that was a huge challenge for our trade. the u.s. needed to use leverage to try to pressure britain and france to

so madison said that all powers that derived from the people it has instituted to be exercised to the benefit of the people to use property that they have the inalienable right to change their government that is inadequate. that is just like the second sentence so tell us that madison wanted to put at the top of the constitution not at the end. >> so with the bill of rights at the time of the founding, they were looking that those that did basically was set out by george mason underrated talking about earlier. so they all came at the beginning of the state constitution and a series of statements that sound like the beginning of the declaration of independence with a rhetorical statement of natural law and popular sovereignty that was to be the preface that came later. madison tried to propose something similar in the first congress because there were a lot of complaints for the anti- federalist they did not have such a premise at its beginning so madison tried to introduce the preface in those changes he wanted to insert where they were appropriate but the house of representatives for

the madison family, dolly sells the place in the 1840s, they have no kids and the madison family has never really come back in a meaningful way to montpelier. where the african-american community that lived there first in enslavement and later in semi forms of freedom, right, are still around and still active at montpelier today. so i want to tell you a little bit about what we've done over the last 20 years. and which gets us to the big project we just opened in june. the pointer here is that what we did -- the exhibit that we opened in june would not have been possible without the 20 years that proceeded it, okay? this is really important for historians to think about. you can't just get a chunk of money and then, you know, have this big, meaningful exhibit. you have to have the -- you have to have put in your time with the community. so, in 2000, or in 1999, rebecca gilmore coleman approached us about the falling down cabin across the street from our main gate. in the 1980s when the national trust acquired montpelier, there were over 160 structures on the property, right, and the

i have no idea because madison never envisioned a huge government. many things we are talking about, huge administrative state, financial power of the national government, none of these things were implied in the 19th century. if you were to ask the foundation, the pillar of the administrative system we have today, what is the one thing that makes it run? there are a lot of things but probably the one thing that is very fundamental is the fact the united states dollar is the reserve currency for the entire world. is that means the national governments can borrow money to infinity because it can print the dollar to pay the debts, all these other countries have to earn their reserves, they can't use the reserves of the printing press. if we ever lost their reserve currency we would have to balance our budget, the kind of politics to go on today where politicians continue to promise programs to people that cannot be paid for. we live in a different kind of world. people suggest that would be a good thing, some people suggest that. how do we -- a lot of

-- stian: announcer: christian: at montpiller we use a james madison and dolly madison reenactors whore very good at what they do. one guy reads the same newspaper that madison would have read 200 years ago every day. he is really into it. he is exactly the same age as madison was. it is strange. that being said, i think when costumed interpretation is done, it is great. i also say it is very hard to do it well. when you are looking at a plantation site in particular, it is hard to do well. because of the people you would need on gas to interpret it properly. brandon: we contract people in, most of the interpreters we use are professionals. they are not there all the time. they come to monticello sometime because they are really good at what they do. for the most part, i think my answer would be yes, it depends on the situation. it depends on who you are using or what additional work is being put out. christian: i would caution you not to use technology for the sake of using technology. do not use technology for the whiz bang factor. use it to convey the stories in the most effective

us to paint a deeper picture of what madison did want? is there anything to be done now to get us closer to that? >> the second was very difficult as i said in 1787 the idea of a nationstate was not a very visible image. union was the new idea that was supported for a host of reasons with the european powers and as i said as part of the empire i believe the american nationstate instructed afterwards from all of these conflicts developed later the question is how do we get back to the madisonian system? and so many of these that we talk about with the administrative state the financial power these were not in play. if you would like the foundation or the pillar of the administrative system we have today what makes it run? there are probably a lot of things but the one thing that is fundamental is that the united states dollar is the reserve currency that means the national government can print the dollars to pay the debts with all these little countries have to earn that. they cannot resort to the printing press. and then to balance out th

it's a good matchup with madison keys, madison keys, big hitter, us open finalist, but in terms of ahead skewed towards the german, she uses the pace of keys, she counterpunch to perfection. you mentioned the scoreline and the time, seven u nforced scoreline and the time, seven unforced errors. what this win will also do, not only put her in the australian semi—finals, but it will put her into the top ten because she went to the mid— 20s last year. having been a former world number one. she is sensational, unbeaten so far this year and she's only dropped one set this year and that was in the fourth round. incredible tennis, really good to watch, warming us up with chung's defeat of novak djokovic and also sandgren on now on the replay, are we looking forward toa the replay, are we looking forward to a big showdown between these two youngsters? i know chung, who won the inaugural nexgen tournament, the best players under 21 organised by the atp, he is a wall, and the out djokoviced djokovic. very exciting to watch. then you have sandgren, a bit ofan to watch. then you have sandgren, a bit

madison, of course, hardly unknown. there were innumerable pieces of prose by madison, that enabled me to develop maybe a more fine grained rendering of the man i might otherwise have. one of them that pops to mind was a letter -- although, to be absolutely truth in packaging, it actually dates him just before the first congress, in which he is corresponding with jefferson, i believe, trying to acquire a slave boy at the request of a french friends in order to dispatch him to an aristocrat in france, who has a slave black girl, so the two of them can breed. this is madison who writes with not the faintest un's about this, a man who often is credited with stronger anti- slavery feelings than he actually had. there's an immense amount of ambassadors who caught the most yey and insightful commentators on the first congress, otto, in july of 1790, is absorbing the full force of debates, i believe at that particular point over the capitol and writes the underhanded insidious dealings of facetious and turbulent spirit are muc

the madison family, they sell the place in 1840s, they have no children and the madison family has never really come back in a meaningful way. where the african-american community who lived there first in enslavement and later in semi forms of freedom are still around and still active today. i want to tell you a little bit about what we've done over the past 20 years which gets us to the big project we just opened in june. the point here is that what we did, exhibit we opened in june would not have been possible without the 20 years that preceded it. this is important for historians to think about. you can't just get a chunk of money and then have this big meaningful exhibit you have to put in your time with the community. so, in 2000 or 1999, rebecca gilmer : who is in the far right, approaches to about the falling down cap and was across the street from our maingate. in the 1980s when the national trust acquired it, there were over 160 structures on the property. the only ones we knew much about where the main house which of course had 25000 square feet added to it by the department an

madison during that time had two anxiety attacks. they were called epilepsy attacks that caused him to be removed. he had to take himself out and go stay in his boarding house for days at a time, suffering. he described it as suffering. i think it was because he experienced as incredibly daunting and difficult this, the pressure of having the whole country on his shoulders, on his narrow little 5'4" shoulders. i think that most of the time when he engaged in real intense public battle about something, it was not easy for him because he was an introvert. he was -- it wasn't -- it didn't come naturally to be the leader of a nation. i think his leadership came from the necessity and the gifts that he had, and his understanding that he needed to solve things through government and politics and public service and public policies. and the way with you did that was by having to do what he did. so it was a necessity. and he mastered it by dint of will and his passion and conviction. but it was always a more tortured overcoming of obstacles f
