Abstract: Neal Riemer examines the political theory of one of the chief architects of that venerable document. The author elaborates on the philosophical and political context of the first fifty years of the new nation, showing how complex and unprecedented its problems were: How would it be possible to establish and maintain a free and republican government in a nation of such large size and with such divergent interests among its states? As Reimer concludes, we must attribute part of the continuing success of the American Constitution to Madison´s prophetic political vision.
