Remember the Father of the Constitution

Gary Galles / Mises.org:
March 16 marked James Madison's birthday. He was "the father of the Constitution"; no one had a greater hand in constructing and interpreting the highest law of our land. His understanding is especially important today, given how far we have moved away from the very limited government the Constitution authorized and toward one that continually expands its power at the expense of Americans. We could all profit by remembering Madison's understanding of the federal government authorized under the Constitution, a sharp contrast to what we see everywhere around us.
