The first election for Virginia's 5th congressional district took place on February 2, 1789. In a
race that turned on the candidates' positions on the need for a Bill of Rights, James
Madison (depicted) defeated James Monroe for a place in the First Congress. It is the only
congressional election in U.S. history in which two future presidents opposed each other. The race
came about when former governor Patrick Henry and other Anti-Federalists sought to defeat
Madison. They put forward Monroe, a young but experienced politician, who campaigned vigorously.
Despite bitterly cold weather, the two candidates debated outdoors; traveling after one such
meeting, Madison suffered frostbite on his face. Madison won the election comfortably, to the
applause of his supporters such as President-elect George Washington. The race did not affect
Madison's friendship with Monroe, who would serve as Madison's Secretary of State and succeed
him as president in 1817. (Full article...)
