[Your pardon] Good afternoon ladies
gentlemen [unclear]
shalom! My name is James Madison I
have the privilege at present of serving
as a member of Congress, a representative
of Virginia, and have had the honour to
bear a part in the various events that
have made our revolution. How long did it
take to create the Constitution? On that
point, how long did it take to write the
Constitution? The whole of human history
because since the beginning of mankind
we have been endeavoring to perfect a
system of government. I learned that you
were the oldest of 12 siblings. How did
it feel to be the oldest out of all of
them? I was born in a home that was
referred to as Mount Pleasant this was
the earliest home that I knew. It was a
very small house, no more than a four or
five bedrooms which for the majority of
my life I shared with my younger
brothers and sisters.
[Students] Todah Rabbah!
It's been a true privilege to speak with
all of you.
