It brings together responses to Madison and his theory from a  cross-section of modern political science, and views Madison not as an icon or mouthpiece of an era, but as a \"modern\" political scientist .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Of all the Framers, James Madison arguably was closest to being a political scientist in the contemporary sense of the term. In preparing for the Philadelphia Convention, for instance, he made a thorough comparative study of ancient and modern confederacies. . . . These essays make a valuable and varied contribution to our understanding of Madison's political science and will elicit productive agreements and disagreements.\" -- \u003ci\u003ePresidential Studies Quarterly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"James Madison was America's first political scientist, and is arguably still its greatest. In these essays, Madison's latter-day heirs subject his close reasoning on the major problems of federalism and republicanism to some close scrutiny of their own. The result is a volume that illuminates both the sources of Madison's continuing influence on our ideas of the Founding era and the ways in which contemporary political science differs from his. One comes away from these papers impressed not only by how deeply the contributors have thought about Madison, but also by his capacity to inspire and demand continued critical thinking about the American constitutional system.\" -- Jack Rakove * Stanford University *\u003cbr\u003e\"While James Madison has always received considerable scholarly attention, this book is unique in its sustained treatment of Madison in terms of concepts and theories arising from political science. Every chapter makes new and interesting arguments about James Madison's contributions to the 'theory and practice of Republican government.'\" -- Eric Schickler, University of California * Berkeley *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContributors\tvii   1.\tIntroduction\t1  \tsamuel kernell   2.\tBefore and after Publius: The Sources and Influence of   \tMadison's Political Thought\t14  \tiain mclean   3.\tMadison's Theory of Public Goods\t41  \tkeith l. dougherty   4.\tPersonal Motives, Constitutional Forms, and the Public Good: Madison on Political   Leadership\t63  \trandall strahan   5.\t\"The True Principles of tRepublican Government\": Reassessing James Madison's Political   Science\t92  \tsamuel kernell\t   6.\tMadisonian Separation of Powers\t126  \tjohn ferejohn   7.\tMadison's Dilemma: Revisiting the Relationship between the Senate and the \"Great   Compromise\" at the Constitutional Convention \t156  daniel widaniel wirls   8.\tConstituting a National Interest: Madison against the States' Autonomy\t184  \tdavid brian robertson   9.\tThe Madisonian Scheme to Control the National Government\t217  \tjenna bednar  10.\tMadison at the First Congress: Institutional Design and   \tLessons from the Continental Congress, 1780-1783\t243  \trick k. wilson  11.\tVote Trading in the First Federal Congress?
