CHAPTER I 4 The Strange Career of Thomas Jefferson Race and Slavery in American Memory, I94J-I99J SCOT A. FRENCH AND EDWARD L. AYERS For generations, the memory of Thomas Jefferson has been inseparable from his nation's memory of race and slavery. Just as Jefferson's words are invoked whenever America's ideals of democracy and freedom need an elo­ quent spokesman, so are his actions invoked when critics level charges of white guilt, hypocrisy, and evasion. In the nineteenth century, abolitionists used Jefferson's words as swords; slaveholders used his example as a shield.

  • The Other Madison Problem
    THE OTHER MADISON PROBLEM David S. Schwartz* & John Mikhail** The conventional view of legal scholars and historians is that James Madison was the “father” or “major architect” of the Constitution, whose unrivaled authority entitles his interpretations of the Constitution to special weight and consideration. This view greatly exaggerates Madison’s contribution to the framing of the Constitution and the quality of his insight into the main problem of federalism that the Framers tried to solve. Perhaps most significantly, it obstructs our view of alternative interpretations of the original Constitution with which Madison disagreed. Examining Madison’s writings and speeches between the spring and fall of 1787, we argue, first, that Madison’s reputation as the father of the Constitution is unwarranted. Madison’s supposedly unparalleled preparation for the Constitutional Convention and his purported authorship of the Virginia plan are unsupported by the historical record. The ideas Madison expressed in his surprisingly limited pre-Convention writings were either widely shared or, where more peculiar to him, rejected by the Convention. Moreover, virtually all of the actual drafting of the Constitution was done by other delegates, principally James Wilson and Gouverneur Morris. Second, we argue that Madison’s recorded thought in this critical 1787 period fails to establish him as a particularly keen or authoritative interpreter of the Constitution. Focused myopically on the supposed imperative of blocking bad state laws, Madison failed to diagnose the central problem of federalism that was clear to many of his peers: the need to empower the national government to regulate the people directly. Whereas Madison clung to the idea of a national government controlling the states through a national legislative veto, the Convention settled on a decidedly non-Madisonian approach of bypassing the states by directly regulating the people and controlling bad state laws indirectly through the combination of federal supremacy and preemption.

BERNSTEIN* INTRODUCTION As you stand before the family cemetery at Monticello, separated from the tree-shaded graveyard by a plain iron fence, the central tomb- stone draws your gaze. An obelisk of gray stone, it bears a simple inscription: HERE WAS BURIED THOMAS JEFFERSON APRIL 2, 1743 O.S. -JULY 4, 1826 AUTHOR OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE AND OF THE VIRGINIA STATUTE FOR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM, AND FATHER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA. Today's monument was erected in the 1880s to replace the original, which had eroded badly - due partly to the souvenir-lust of genera- tions of visitors armed with pocketknives. The inscription, however, is the same one that Thomas Jefferson composed in the last year of his * Adjunct Professor of Law, New York Law School. This Essay is a revised and expanded version of a talk delivered at Faculty Presentation Day, New York Law School, 3 April 2002; I have worked into the text some of my responses to questions from the audience following the original talk.

THE FEDERALIST AND THE FOUNDING: TWO VIEWS OF THE INTELLECTUAL ORIGINS Nathan Webster Jones* Introduction The Federalist Papers, written primarily by James Madison and Alexander Hamilton under the pseudonym Publius, have been the focal point for the study of American political philosophy for almost two hundred years. The papers_ were written as editorials arguing for the ratification of the Philadelphia draft of the Constitution, and appeared in several New York newspapers before being collected in a single volume. Tpey are "America's premier book about politics." Even more important to this study, they are the "premier book" about the politics which shaped America's founding. The authors of the Federalist played key roles in the formation and the enactment of the American government, and the papers are considered by many to be the most profound.2 expression of the political science of the framers.

WILLIAMS* One might almost say that the romance, the poetry and even the drama of American politics are deeply embedded in the many state constitutions promulgated since the publication of Paine's Common Sense, the Declaration of Independence, and the Virginia Bill of Rights. James Q. Dealey' Introduction William Gladstone said the federal Constitution was "the most won- derful work ever struck off at a given time by the hand and purpose of man."' 2 He did not, however, mean by this note of praise that the Consti- tution was literally invented or cut from whole cloth at the Philadelphia Convention in the summer of 1787.
