Lynne Cheney has published a new biography of James Madison to give him, in her opinion, the full recognition he deserves. She said in a recent interview, Without [Madison], I don’t think the Constitution would have been created. First of all, he organized the Constitutional Convention. He made sure that [George] Washington would attend. If Washington had not attended, it likely would not have come together. He made sure that the delegates there would be men of high standing and eminence, so that people would respect their decisions. He came up with the agenda for the convention, so that the ideas that he had thought about for years would be in the debate. usnews/opinion/articles/2014/05/15/lynne-cheney-explains-why-james-madisons-presidency-was-underrated
