James Madison was the fourth president of the United States of America.
He was the first of 12 children, five never made it into childhood.
The reason why James Madison is so interesting is because he was so involved in the founding our country. He was heavily involved in the constitution and the Bill of Rights.
Another interesting thing about him is that he was America's first graduate student. After his last year at the College of New Jersey he decided to stay for another year to continue his studies.
He was the smallest president ever! He was only five foot four inches tall and weighed around one hundred pounds.
He suffered chronic arthritis and had frostbite at the end of his nose.
He was related to my FAVORITE president George Washington.
He made 5k a year for being president.
All in all James Madison wasn't the most interesting man in the world, but he was very intelligent, and this country wouldn't be what it is today without some of this mans input!
