Treść głównego artykułu

Abstrakt

James Madison, known as „the Father of the Constitution”, was one of the most sophisticated thinkers of his time. He was also a passionate defender of the Philadelphia Constitutional Compromise. One of its core elements was a conception of federalism, that Madison defended throughout his life. This was why he fought against Hamilton, who wanted to expand the power of the federal government, and later against nullifiers and radical states' rights advocates. In this paper, the author analyzes Madison's concepts of federalism and divided sovereignty, arguing that Madison was not inconsistent, but always subordinated his theory and practice to the defense of these two core values.
