Assignment task: What were the most important positive and negative consequences of James Madison's actions as president? Do not try to address everything Madison did as president. Instead, focus only on what you consider his most important actions and their consequences. Choices can may vary wildly, but in each case, focus on specific actions and their consequences. In addition to pointing out the particular actions, present a coherent argument as to why these actions were of such importance and why they resulted in the consequences you describe.
