<strong>About this blog</strong>: A ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court does not necessarily mean the end of battles over a disputed issue.

<strong>About this blog:</strong> James Madison was a Founding Father of great complexity and many contradictions who had a profound influence on the ideas that created America. In his book, “James Madison and the Making of America,” released last month by St. Martin’s Press, <strong>Kevin R. C. Gutzman</strong> provides a multi-layered portrait of Madison, with particular emphais on his ideas about church and state.
