Shortlisted for the Pulitzer Prize for History (1996).

Banning (history, U. of Kentucky) argues that Madison was not an intellectual pragmatist who reacted variably to the changing circumstances of the Revolution and the Confederation. Rather, Madison held to consistent principles and was at once a more committed democrat and a less eager nationalist.
