James Madison Quotes:
Ocupation: 4th U.S. President
Life: March 16, 1751 - June 28, 1836
Birthday: March 16
Death: June 28
... the State Legislatures will jealously and closely watch the operations of this Government, and be able to resist with more effect every assumption of power, than any other power on earth can do; and the greatest opponents to a Federal Government admit the State Legislatures to be sure guardians of the people's liberty.
