Federalist Society
Its logo is a silhouette of former president and constitution author, James Madison, who co-wrote "The Federalist Papers". Commissioner Paul S. Atkins of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission considered society members "the heirs of James Madison's legacy" in a speech he gave in January 2008 to its lawyers chapter in Dallas, Texas. Madison is generally credited as the father of the constitution and became the fourth president of the United States.
Alfred Deakin
Deakin continued to write prolifically throughout his career. He was a member of the Eclectic Association, fellow members included authors Theodore Fink, Arthur Topp, Arthur Patchett Martin and David Mickle. Deakin wrote anonymous political commentaries for the London "Morning Post" even while he was Prime Minister. His account of the federation movement appeared as "The Federal Story" in 1944 and is a vital primary source for this history. His account of his career in Victorian politics in the 1880s was published as "The Crisis in Victorian Politics" in 1957. His collected journalism was published as "Federated Australia" in 1968.
