Week 9.3 Summarizing

From the Biography of James Madison at http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/presidents/jm4.html:

Madison made a major contribution to the ratification of the Constitution by writing, with Alexander Hamilton and John Jay, the Federalist essays. In later years, when he was referred to as the "Father of the Constitution," Madison protested that the document was not "the off-spring of a single brain," but "the work of many heads and many hands."
