President James Madison Essay -- Presidents American History Essays

President James Madison James Madison, (1751-1836), 4th President of the United States of America. Although he served eight years each as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, as secretary of state, and as president, Madison's principal contribution to the founding of the United States was as "Father of the Constitution." Madison's place among the Founding Fathers reveals the essential qualities of his public career. Jefferson had a superior vision of the potential for life under republican government, a greater capacity for leadership, and a special gift for the memorable phrase, but Madison had a more subtle and incisive political sense. Madison's ancestors, probably all from England, settled in Virginia along the Rappahannock and Mattaponi rivers in the mid-17th century. James Madison himself, however, lived all his life in Orange county on a 5,000-acre plantation that produced tobacco and grains and was worked by 100 slaves. Madison was born at the home of his maternal grandparents in Port Conway, Va., on March 16, 1751. Madison also read John Locke, Isaac Newton, Jonathan Swift, David Hume, Voltaire, and others who fashioned the Enlightenment world view, which became his own. Madison's understanding of public affairs developed during the decade of colonial resistance to British measures, 1765-1775. Madison's skill led to his election in 1780 to the Continental Congress, where he served for nearly four years. In 1783, after ratification of the peace treaty and demobilization of the army, Madison ranked as a leading promoter of a stronger national government. For three years in the Virginia legislature, Madison worked to enact Jefferson's bill for religious freedom and other reform measures. He also continued to strengthen the national government by securing Virginia's support of it. Madison offered the Virginia plan giving taxing and law-enforcement powers to the national government, and he worked with James Wilson and other nationalists to support a strengthened executive, a broadly based House of Representatives, long terms in the Senate, an independent federal judiciary, and other devices to enhance national power. Madison argued that an enlarged, strengthened national government, far from being the path to despotism its opponents feared, was in fact the surest way to protect freedom and expand the principle of self-govern... ...th sides tired of war, a peace treaty was signed restoring the pre-war boundaries and ensuring American national independence. The French minister, who had been close to Madison throughout the war, observed that three years of warfare have been a trial of the capacity of American institutions to sustain a state of war. With threats of disunion ended, the path opened for westward expansion, the nation confident of its security in the world and its institutions vindicated, Madison's last two years as president were triumphant. Though in urging a variety of measures, Madison cast aside republican dogma about weak government, he still opposed internal improvement schemes except under a constitutional amendment. Happily retired to his Virginia farm, Madison practiced scientific agriculture, helped Jefferson found the University of Virginia, advised Monroe on foreign policy, arranged his papers for publication, and maintained a wide correspondence. Nationally, Madison wrote in support of a mildly protective tariff, the National Bank, and, most importantly, the power of the union against nullification. Madison's health slowly declined, forcing him more and more to be a silent observer.

Ltd.This company, along with its other group companies, known as The Times Group, also publishes The Economic Times, Mumbai Mirror, Pune Mirror, the Navbharat Times (a Hindi-language daily broadsheet), the Maharashtra Times (a Marathi-language daily broadsheet). The Times is self-declared as a liberal newspaper, and is sometimes described as irreverent. The present management of The Times Group has been instrumental in changing the outlook of Indian journalism. In India, as is elsewhere in the world, the Editor of a newspaper has traditionally been considered as the most notable position in a newspaper set up.The Times of India, however, changed this in the early 1990s, in keeping with the management policy of treating the newspaper as just another brand in the market. The main newspaper and its many sub-editions are now run by editors who are appointed within the ranks and the company gives equal chance to everyone to occupy the editor's seat. The Times Group also places equal focus and importance to every department and function – which has made it a professional entity and ensured its place as the most profitable newspaper in the country. In late 2006, Times Group acquired Vijayanand Printers Limited (VPL).VPL used to publish two Kannada newspapers Vijay Karnataka and Usha Kiran and an English daily Vijay Times. Vijay Karnataka was the leader in the Kannada newspaper segment then. In January 2007, the Kannada edition was launched in Bangalore and in April 2008 the Chennai edition was launched. Their main rivals in India are The Hindu and Hindustan Times, which hold second and third position by circulation. There was a serious backlash against the paper's irresponsible coverage following the verdict of Ayodhya disputed land case. This also provoked serious criticism about the paper's poor news standards in Twitter.The Times Group| | | Corporate directors| Indu Jain  Ã‚ · Samir Jain  Ã‚ · Vineet Jain  Ã‚ · Sahu Jain  Ã‚ · Sahu Ramesh Chandra Jain  Ã‚ · Sahu Shanti Prasad Jain| | | Brand Newspapers, magazines and websites| The Times of India  Ã‚ · The Economic Times  Ã‚ · Maharashtra Times  Ã‚ · Navbharat Times  Ã‚ · Mumbai Mirror  Ã‚ · Pune Mirror  Ã‚ · Kolkata Mirror  Ã‚ · Bangalore Mirror  Ã‚ · The Times of India – Kannada  Ã‚ · Times Private Treaties  Ã‚ · ET Chandigarh   Zig Wheels| | | Times Global Broadcasting| Times Now  Ã‚ · ET Now  Ã‚ · Z oom  Ã‚ · Lead India | | | Times Internet| Indiatimes portal  Ã‚ · TimesofMoney| | | Times Infotainment &Entertainment Network India| Radio Mirchi  Ã‚ · Absolute Radio  Ã‚ · 360 Degrees  Ã‚ · Times Outoors  Ã‚ · Mirchi Movies Limited| | | Times Business Solutions| TBSL  Ã‚ · Times Jobs  Ã‚ · SimplyMarry  Ã‚ · MagicBricks  Ã‚ · Yolist   Ã‚ · Ads2Book  Ã‚ · PeerPower| | | World Wide Media| Filmfare  Ã‚ · Filmfare Awards  Ã‚ · Femina  Ã‚ · Femina Miss India  Ã‚ · Top Gear India  Ã‚ · Hello  Ã‚ · BBC Good Homes  Ã‚ · Femina Hindi  Ã‚ · Grazia  Ã‚ · What to Wear| | | TIML Radio| TIML Radio Limited| HISTORY OF â€Å"DNA† Daily News and Analysis  (DNA) is an Indian  broadsheet  published in the English language from  Mumbai,  Ahmedabad,  Pune,  Jaipur,Bangalore  and  Indore  in  India.The broadsheet was launched in July 2005 and targeted a young readership.

Vaswani, Ruchi Ram Sahni, Bernard Haton, Harinder Nath Chattopadhyaya, Dr Saifuddin Kichlu and Rubi Waston etc. â€Å"Sadar Panikkar launched the Hindustan Times as a serious nationalist newspaper. As an Oxonian, historian, and litterateur, Panikkar must have hoped to make his paper eventually more than an Akali sheet. He became the editor and funds flowed freely from activist Akali patrons. He exerted himself strenuously, but the paper made very little headway.In two years Panikkar could not take the print order any higher than 3,000. By then the Akali movement appeared to lose steam and funds dried up. The paper was saved from an untimely demise when Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya stepped in to realise his vision of a newspaper in Delhi. † – TJS George, Lessons in Journalism, 2007, Viva Books, New Delhi.
