Episode 84 - James Madison on the Voice of Reason

James Madison, founding father and 4th President of the United States also authored numerous essays along with John Jay and Alexander Hamilton for the Federalist Papers in a successful information campaign to convince New York (and other states) to ratify the Constitution.  As a result, we have the federal government we know today.  He was able to speak as the voice of reason for long-term goals at the expense of short-term enjoyment.  This is an important lesson for all of us.
