 Hutson Paper: James Madison and the Social Untility of Religion: Risks vs. Rewards (Library of Congress Exhibition)
Madison's passion for the separation of church and state was kindled by exposure as a young man to the sufferings of neighbors enduring religious persecution; like Moses witnessing the beating of the Hebrew slave by the Egyptian taskmaster, Madison was moved by this experience toward a lifelong commitment to relieve his countrymen from spiritual oppression.
Madison also developed a theory of his own about religion's capacity to sustain itself in the absence of state support, although his reasoning on this point is difficult to reconstruct because of a paucity of evidence.
Madison's contribution was to express his fellow citizens' objections with an elegance and lucidity that elevated them from the din of the political controversy to a lofty place in the literature on religious liberty..

 The James Madison Papers - About This Collection - (American Memory from the Library of Congress)
The tangled story of the dispersal of the papers of James Madison is told in some detail in the introduction to the first volume of the edition of Madison's papers now being published by the University of Chicago Press.
Madison had put a "construction" on the act of Congress for the purchase of the Madison papers in 1848 and that James Buchanan, then secretary of state, had not objected to that construction and had accepted delivery of what he deemed essential to the execution of the act.
According to Madison's later references, it was Thomas Jefferson himself who returned a number of the letters he had received from Madison, although the exact time he did this has not been discovered.
