It was Madison who nominated Jefferson as one of the negotiators of a peace treaty with England in November 1782 with unanimous support from the Confederation Congress. Madison was instrumental in pulling Jefferson back into the public arena after the bitterness of the legislative inquiry into Jefferson's term as governor in 1781 and then after his wife's death in 1782. As the governor could do little without the advice and consent of the council, Madison and Jefferson began to come into almost daily contact, and their mutual admiration and friendship grew. By 1779, the two became more intimate while Jefferson was serving as Governor of Virginia and Madison as a member of the Council of State (first appointed to the position in 1777 under Governor Patrick Henry). The two men became acquainted that fall as they worked together on diminishing the power of the established church in Virginia and promoting religious freedom, a topic to which both were deeply committed and on which they would cooperate for years. After adoption of Virginia's first constitution in June 1776, Madison continued as a member of the House of Delegates, and it was here that junior member Madison was introduced to Thomas Jefferson in the fall of 1776 when Jefferson returned to Williamsburg from the Continental Congress. The conventions replaced the House of Burgesses during the American Revolution as the colony's legislative body. Madison became interested in public affairs while still a student at Princeton, and in 1776, at the age of 25, he was elected as one of two delegates from Orange County to attend the Fifth Virginia Convention in Williamsburg. During this period of recuperation following his graduation from Princeton, he studied law, though he never intended to practice and never qualified as a lawyer. He was small, standing about 5'6', of a slight build, and has been variously described as 'feeble,' 'pale,' and 'sickly' yet he lived to the age of 85 years. Throughout his life, Madison considered himself to be in frail health.

Unfortunately, his Princeton practice of sleeping only five hours per night in order to pursue his studies took a toll on his health, and the following spring Madison returned to his father's plantation to rest and to decide upon a career. He set out for Princeton in 1769 accompanied by his personal slave, Sawney, and proceeded to complete a four-year course of study in only thirty months, graduating in September 1771. Rather than attending the College of William and Mary as most young Virginia gentlemen did, Madison and his father chose the Presbyterian College of New Jersey (now Princeton University) for his education, both because of concerns that the tidewater of Virginia was unhealthy and because of disagreements with the Anglican establishment that controlled the Virginia college. As the eldest of twelve siblings, seven of whom lived to adulthood, he was heir to his father's plantation, which began to be called 'Montpelier' in the 1780s. Madison was born into the Piedmont gentry on Ma(n.s.), on his maternal grandparents' plantation in King George County, and was named for his father, James Madison, Sr.

Madison also worked as an assistant camp director at Bruce Pearl Basketball Camp during summers from 2015 until 2018, so she was able to continue playing basketball after high school.Madison biographer Irving Brant described the fifty-year relationship between Thomas Jefferson and James Madison as a 'perfectly balanced friendship' - they complimented and supported each other, both personally and in their political careers. Her father - who works as the Director of Operations for Auburn University basketball - was her coach on the team, and she credits him with a lot of her success. One year, she was even given the title of state MVP, according to her ABC bio. Madison was on her Alabama high school’s basketball team, and won four state championships throughout her career. 10, they’ll go on another one-on-one date to see if all the feelings are still there. Still, viewers have gotten to see little snippets of her relationship with Peter that prove he’s still very interested in her every week.

Since then, Madison hasn’t gotten much screen time, as she’s managed to stay out of the drama in the house. She fit right in with the family, and Peter quickly developed strong feelings for her. The two immediately hit it off, and Peter took Madison to his parents’ vow renewal ceremony for the date. Madison Prewett, 23, got the first one-on-one date of the season during Peter Weber’s season of The Bachelor.
