Madisons role as the agenda maker for the philadelphia convention, and the particular argument i wanted to make is, as madison prepares himself for the convention in the weeks just before it was due to meet in midmay 1787, i think the key item he worked on in his agenda is the idea that a system of federalism based upon the voluntary compliance of the states with the recommendations, the resolutions, the requisitions that came from the Continental Congress, was never going to work. When he reasons about this, he does so in a very interesting way. He combines a set of empirical observations about what had taken place in the mid1770s and lessons americans like him had learned since 1776 by watching how the system functions.
