Good Morning Class,

I chose James Madison for this forum. He was a key figure in the writing process of the constitution. Surveying other countries and writing drafts of the constitution till it was ready to be signed. The biggest impact I believe he had on the constitution was his willingness to never give up. He constantly wrote other delegates of other states when the idea of a constitution was not popular. Knowing his country needed a structure to stick to for the future, he continued to write his fellow country men about the importance of a constitution. Creating a documentation plan for the United States over time, through debate after debate. Originally he fought for the constitution to be signed as a Federalist. Once the constitution was ratified he began to disagree with the Federalist. Which started the Democratic-Republican party. Considering his ability to fight for what he thought was right, I believe he would still be fighting today. Not in a physical sense, but for our freedoms as human beings. I believe his spirit lives through our constitution. A constitution that lives for the freedoms of our people today. Fighting for our rights and what we believe in, just like James Madison.
