Going issue by issue -- education, religious freedom, republicanism -- Bigler shows that Madison, from his time as a curious student to his years as president of the United States, displayed a genius that benefits our country to this day. Levar Stoney, a leader of the Democratic Party of Virginia, finds it paradoxical that Madison would not likely have openly supported President Barack Obama, an African-American who now leads a party that traces its origins to the Democratic-Republican Party founded by Madison and Thomas Jefferson.
