美國歷史上的今天 James Madison 每天一篇《美國歷史上的今天》,提煉和總結(jié)歷史在今天發(fā)生的重要事件:誰,在哪里,什么時候,做了什么,這件事為什么重要、以及在寫關(guān)于什么主題的論文的時候可以作為潛在論據(jù)引用。 每天半分鐘,輕松積累史實 為AP歷史拿5分打下堅實基礎(chǔ) When: March 16, 1751 What: James Madison, drafter of the Constitution, recorder of the Constitutional Convention, author of the Federalist Papers and fourth president of the U.S., was born on a plantation in Virginia. Why significant: Madison is best remembered for his critical role in the Constitutional Convention of 1787, where he presented the Virginia Plan to the assembled delegates in Philadelphia and oversaw the difficult process of negotiation and compromise that led to the drafting of the final Constitution. Madison’s published Notes on the Convention are considered the most detailed and accurate account of what occurred in the closed-session debates. After the Constitution was submitted to the people for ratification, Madison collaborated with John Jay and Alexander Hamilton on The Federalist Papers, a series of pamphlets that argued for the acceptance of the new government. Madison penned the most famous of the pamphlets, Federalist No. 10, which made an incisive argument for the ability of a large federation to preserve individual rights.
