He even gave a speech arguing against the Compromise. He introduced the Virginia plan. He thought that would be the best option for the states, Madison said that he "conceived that the Convention was reduced to the alternative of either departing from justice in order to conciliate the smaller States, and the minority of the people of the U. S. or of displeasing these by justly gratifying the larger States and the majority of the people." ]]> 2017-10-15 18:03:08 UTC https://padlet.com/wilbera1/z97wb5sie7d0/wish/197140771 wilbera1 https://padlet.com/wilbera1/z97wb5sie7d0/wish/197151301 Gay marriage. If James Madison Jr. was alive today I think that he would be a supporter of this. I believe this because of his religion. James was an Anglican. They support gay marriage. Because James was strong in his faith it would leave me to believe that he would also support it.]]> 2017-10-15 19:34:35 UTC https://padlet.com/wilbera1/z97wb5sie7d0/wish/197151301 wilbera1 https://padlet.com/wilbera1/z97wb5sie7d0/wish/197151789 I believe James Madison was a very influential part in the making of the Constitution. At such a young age Madison wasn't afraid to  share his ideas or argue his point. James is called "The father of the constitution because he contributed to it so much. To make the states ratify the Constitution James spent a lot of time writing in the "Federalists Papers" to have people support it. Through all of this hard work and dedication The Constitution became a very important part of our history. I can bet . that James Madison Jr. has never been more proud of himself and our wonderful country]]> 2017-10-15 19:39:05 UTC https://padlet.com/wilbera1/z97wb5sie7d0/wish/197151789
