Madison was a member of the continental congress. He helped develop the "Virginia Plan", also co-authoring a series of essays that appeared in the Newspaper, and seen by all the states. But majorly, he helped strengthen the Constitution. He argued strongly about having a strong government. He introduced the 13 amendments that guaranteed individual rights. 
He was so important, he was nicknamed "the father of Constitution".
