The Madisonian Constitution is a project of the Johns Hopkins Institute for Constitutional Thought. The project aims to create a comprehensive digital edition of the records of the Constitutional Convention of 1787.

The Constitutional Convention was a meeting of delegates from the thirteen states that had ratified the Articles of Confederation. The convention was held in Philadelphia from May to September 1787. The delegates were tasked with revising the Articles of Confederation, but they ultimately decided to write a new constitution.

The new constitution, which was ratified by the states in 1788, established a new federal government for the United States. The government was divided into three branches: the legislative, executive, and judicial branches. The legislative branch was given the power to make laws, the executive branch was given the power to enforce laws, and the judicial branch was given the power to interpret laws.

The Madisonian Constitution project is a collaboration between the Johns Hopkins Institute for Constitutional Thought and the Library of Congress. The project is funded by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

The Madisonian Constitution website provides access to the digital edition of the records of the Constitutional Convention, as well as to a variety of other resources related to the convention. The website includes a searchable database of the convention records, a timeline of the convention, and a gallery of images of the convention delegates.
