James Madison, (1751-1836), Father of the Constitution for the USA, 4th US President
James Madison Quote
“[A]s the Courts are generally the last in making the decision, it results to them by refusing or not refusing to execute a law to stamp it with its final character. This makes the Judiciary department paramount in fact to the Legislature, which was never intended, and can never be proper.”
