James Madison
(March 16, 1751 – June 28, 1836)
4th President of the United States (1809–1817)
From Wikipedia: "Known as the "Father of the Constitution," James Madison played a leading role in the creation of the United States Constitution in 1787 and, with Alexander Hamilton, was the chief expounder of its meaning in the Federalist Papers (1788). Working closely with Thomas Jefferson, he created the Democratic-Republican Party in the mid-1790's. As Jefferson's Secretary of State he handled the Louisiana Purchase, doubling the nation's size. After trying to avoid war with Britain and France, he declared war on Britain in 1812."
