Hardback. Condizione: Good. The Amazing True Story of the Election That Saved the Constitution In 1789, James Madison and James Monroe ran against each other for Congress--the only time that two future presidents have contested a congressional seat. But what was at stake, as author Chris DeRose reveals in Founding Rivals: Madison vs. Monroe, the Bill of Rights, and the Election That Saved a Nation, was more than personal ambition. This was a race that determined the future of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the very definition of the United States of America. Friends and political allies for most of their lives, Madison was the Constitution's principal author, Monroe one of its leading opponents. Monroe thought the Constitution gave the federal government too much power and failed to guarantee fundamental rights. Madison believed that without the Constitution, the United States would not survive. It was the most important congressional race in American history, more important than all but a few presidential elections, and yet it is one that historians have virtually ignored. In Founding Rivals, DeRose, himself a political strategist who has fought campaigns in Madison and Monroe's district, relives the campaign, retraces the candidates' footsteps, and offers the first insightful, comprehensive history of this high-stakes political battle. DeRose reveals: How Madison's election ensured the passage of a Bill of Rights--and howMonroe's election would have ensured its failureHow Madison came from behind to win a narrow victory (by a margin of only 336 votes) in a district gerrymandered against himHow the Bill of Rights emerged as a campaign promise to Virginia's evangelical ChristiansWhy Madison's defeat might have led to a new Constitutional Convention--and the breakup of the United StatesFounding Rivals tells the extraordinary, neglected story of two of America's most important Founding Fathers. Brought to life by unparalleled research, it is one of the most provocative books of American political history you will read this year.…

This was originally published as a paperback work. Christopher M. DeRose is a New York Times bestselling American author and Clerk of the Superior Court of Maricopa County, Arizona. He was formerly a law professor and Senior Litigation Counsel for the Arizona Attorney General. DeRose's first book, Founding Rivals: Madison vs. Monroe, the Bill of Rights, and the Election that Saved a Nation, was named by The Washington Post as one of the "Best Political Books of 2011" and by Human Events as a "Top Ten American History Book to Read this Summer." The New York Times featured "Founding Rivals" in an article on the Congressional Book Club as a book popular with members of Congress. Publishers Weekly described it as "An engaging account of the Republic's contentious founding." Derived from a Kirkus review: His depiction of the evolving relationship between the two key Virginians proves a steady, compelling narrative. Monroe became Madison's protégé and correspondent. Madison became the architect of the Constitution. At the 1787 Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, Madison helped hammer out a perfect-enough Constitution, and then-along with Alexander Hamilton and John Jay-tried to convince the public of its worth in a series of newspaper essays under the pen name Publius. Monroe, as a delegate to the Virginia Ratification Convention the next year, presented objections, namely to the lack of controls on the central government and need for preservation of basic rights. In just six months, Madison and Monroe would be battling over election to the first House of Representatives. Madison barely won, largely because of his promise to introduce into the new Congress a Bill of Rights and helping to gain passage for the first 10 amendments by 1791.…
