Product Description

Dolley and James Madison were America's original power couple. The nation’s most underrated Founding Father, James was everywhere in the early republic. He passed the nation’s first religious freedom law, and did more than any other man to draft and ratify our Constitution. Even today, judges parse each word of his Bill of Rights to determine the constitutionality of abortion, gun control, campaign finance reform, the death penalty, and other hot-button topics. After sparking the creation of the Federalist Party with his Constitution, he then revised his views and became the first leader of the Democratic-Republicans, pioneering the modern two-party system. Meanwhile, his wife Dolley became a major power broker in her own right, mastering unofficial channels and the politics of high society to become a vital unifying force—one that probably tipped the close presidential election of 1812.

This groundbreaking joint biography traces James and Dolley’s lives apart as well as together, through war and peace, from the glories of ratification to the blunders of the 1807 embargo. Through Alexander Kennedy's intimate portraits of both husband and wife, we discover anew how these extraordinary individuals united their talents to shape and unify the fragile young nation.

"It is one of my sources of happiness never to desire a knowledge of other people's business." - Dolley Madison
