A collection of essays on Madison's constitutional views. A few of the essays are boring (eg Tom Palmer's) but a handful are definitely worth reading:
-Nobel laureate James Buchanan's essay on Madison's "angels"
-McDonald's comparison of Jefferson and Madison's constitutional philosophies
-Jim Dorn on what Madison's achievement can say to emerging countries
-John Samples on direct democracy and where Madison went wrong.
