What Does It Mean to Be Madisonian?
[Key Points]
- Today, the word Madisonian is automatically paired with the American constitutional order, particularly the nexus of Federalist 10 and 51―the popular sovereignty of an extended republic mitigated by institutional mechanisms to temper majority factions.
- While that is arguably a fair characterization of the constitutional system, it misrepresents James Madison’s political position at the time of the Constitution’s drafting. Madison’s Federalist 10 defends the Constitution on grounds on which he privately criticized it, and Federalist 51 employs classical republican ideas his original theory did not heavily rely on.
- While Madison in retirement praised the Constitution as a whole, a more precise vocabulary would distinguish the “Publian” Madison from the authentically Madisonian position of 1787.
- The constitutional system advances Madisonian commitments like democratic governance, deliberation, and consensus―not through the means Madison preferred in 1787 but through the practical accommodations with classical republicanism that he eventually embraced.
