Hey guys. The times "in office" within "Delegate from Virginia to the Congress of the Confederation" don't follow chronological order. Maybe you guys would like to change that.
Amazing article by the way, great effort. Thiago1314 (talk) 19:40, 14 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
I added brief information on the Second Amendment. I thought it was needed for the article. It is mainly general information from Cost (2021), not meant to be political in any way. Thanks. Cmguy777 (talk) 04:32, 28 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

In addition to being the shortest President, Madison also weighed the least, at 100 pounds. I suggest this be added to his infobox under his height. Source: https://potus.com/presidential-facts/presidential-weight/
"Dissatisfied with the weak national government established by the Articles of Confederation, he helped organize the Constitutional Convention, which produced a new constitution designed to strengthen republican government against democratic assembly."
The word "Republic" comes from Ancient Roman after overthrow of monarchy, where it then became a republic around 500 BC. The United States became a Republic, when it declared Independence from the British Government and monarchy.
The word "Democracy" comes from Ancient Greek, where representative from districts would go to the capitol to vote (Not to be confused with direct voting, Referendum). Also traced back to about 500 BC.
The two are not mutually exclusive.
Maybe someone can phrase it in a more neutral language and logical sentences.
Example: "which produced a new constitution designed to strengthen republican government for (not against) democratic assembly."
