詹姆斯麦迪逊对于宪法的贡献 James Madison's Contribution to the Constitution

当詹姆斯麦迪逊和其他56位宪政大会代表于1787年5月在费城开会时，他们试图修正联邦条款，获得结论要创建一部新宪法，麦迪逊这位维吉尼亚州的代表，成为会议中的信息记录长（记录相当多重要信息）。

麦迪逊在十一年前也参与过维吉尼亚州的法律制订，他的「维吉尼亚计画」也成为美国宪法发展辩论过程的基础；麦迪逊强烈主张强有力的中央政府才能集成一个国家，大会代表爱该年夏天召开秘密会议、终于在1787年9月17日签署订定了美国宪法。这个结果是否意味着这部宪法就能成为这块土地上通用的法律呢？

When James Madison and the other 56 delegates to the Constitutional Convention met in Philadelphia in May 1787, they intended to amend the Articles of Confederation. They ended up creating a new constitution, and Madison, representing Virginia, became the chief recorder of information (he took a lot of notes).

Madison had helped develop Virginia's Constitution 11 years earlier, and it was his "Virginia Plan" that served as the basis for debate in the development of the U.S. Constitution. Madison argued strongly for a strong central government that would unify the country. The Convention delegates met secretly through the summer and finally signed the proposed U.S. Constitution on September 17, 1787. Did this mean that the Constitution automatically became the law of the land?
