Noah Feldman on Madisons Three Lives
President James Madison shaped the course of American history in not one, not two, but three different and foundational roles in the formation of the young republic. He was a drafter of the constitution, a leader of the Democratic-Republican party, and America\u2019s first wartime president. In a sweeping biography, Noah Feldman traces Madison\u2019s distinct roles and their resonance in current politics in his new book \u201cThe Three Lives of James Madison: Genius, Partisan, President.\u201d Jack Goldsmith recently interviewed Noah Feldman on the book. Together, they discussed Madison\u2019s dynamic role in shaping America\u2019s Constitution, his influence on national security, including the use of economic sanctions, and much more.
