What James Madison actually said

  1. James Madison American statesman (1751 to 1836)
    Justice is the end of government. It is the end of civil society. It ever has been and ever will be pursued until it be obtained, or until liberty be lost in the pursuit.

    Federalist No. 51 is one of the papers (Nos. 49 to 58) whose authorship Hamilton and Madison both claimed; the scholarly consensus, and this Gutenberg text, credit it to Madison.
