His major diplomatic achievement was the 1794 Treaty of London, in which favorable trade terms with Great Britain were negotiated. As a leader of the Federalist Party, Jay became governor of New York state, where he was the leading opponent of slavery. By signing the 1799 \"Act for the Gradual Abolition of Slavery\" into law, he granted all slaves in New York freedom by the year 1827.\u003cb\u003eJames Madison\u003c\/b\u003e (1751-1836) was the fourth US President and is hailed as the \"Father of the Constitution\" for his pivotal role in drafting and promoting the supreme law of the United States, including the Bill of Rights.
