In addition to being the shortest President, Madison also weighed the least, at 100 pounds. I suggest this be added to his infobox under his height. Source: https://potus.com/presidential-facts/presidential-weight/
Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. POTUS.com is not a reliable source. voorts (talk/contributions) 01:41, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
Politically Bias Language and Ignorance of the Words "Democracy" and "Republic".
"Dissatisfied with the weak national government established by the Articles of Confederation, he helped organize the Constitutional Convention, which produced a new constitution designed to strengthen republican government against democratic assembly."
The word "Republic" comes from Ancient Roman after overthrow of monarchy, where it then became a republic around 500 BC. The United States became a Republic, when it declared Independence from the British Government and monarchy.
The word "Democracy" comes from Ancient Greek, where representative from districts would go to the capitol to vote (Not to be confused with direct voting, Referendum). Also traced back to about 500 BC.
The two are not mutually exclusive.
Maybe someone can phrase it in a more neutral language and logical sentences.
Example: "which produced a new constitution designed to strengthen republican government for (not against) democratic assembly."

1807 Act
this is the 4th paragraph under the section "Secretary of State"
do you think there is any value in adding in there that Madison drafted the 1807 Act Prohibiting Importation of Slaves, at the time, Madison was serving as Secretary of State.
the Act Prohibiting Importation of Slaves was signed into law before the Embargo Act.
Act Prohibiting Importation of Slaves: Signed into law on March 2, 1807, and went into effect on January 1, 1808.
Embargo Act: Signed into law on December 22, 1807, and went into effect on January 1, 1808. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Randiwilliams1968 (talk • contribs) 05:18, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
