| | Welcome to The American Presidency |
| | Monroe soon began a steady accumulation of offices: member of the Virginia legislature (1782); delegate to the Continental Congress (1783–86); member of the Virginia ratifying convention (1788), where he opposed adoption of the new federal Constitution; U.S. senator from Virginia (1790–94); minister to France (1794–96); and governor of Virginia (1799–1802). | | | Monroe was born on Apr. 28, 1758, on his parents' small plantation in Westmoreland County, Va. An orphan at age 16, he was fortunate to have as his guardian a wealthy uncle, Joseph Jones, who turned the young man's attention toward law and politics. | | | Monroe left the presidency in 1825 and retired to his country estate in Virginia. |

| | The American Revolution (James Monroe) |
| | Monroe was elected to the Virginia House of Delegates in 1782, and his abilities and total dedication to public service won him election in 1783 to the Confederation Congress, where he sat until 1786. | | | Monroe's role in the conflict was peripheral, because it was contrary to Republican doctrine for the executive to exert direct pressure on Congress. | | | Monroe's public career was shaped by three great influences: the American Revolution; the principles of the Republican party, which he helped found; and his diplomatic experiences. |

| | After Monroe retired from the Presidency to his new home at Oak Hill, he and Madison had yet one more great duty together, that of serving as delegates to the Virginia Constitutional Convention of 1829-1830, of which Monroe was elected President. | | | The Monroe Doctrine was part of Monroe's annual message to Congress in 1823, and reminds us that he, like Madison, modeled his annual messages on the form Washington had created — one of the many ways in which they both looked back to the first President for precedent where appropriate. | | | Having fought with Monroe in our Revolution, having known his wife saved by the intervention of Minister Monroe and his wife, having been awarded US grants of lands and money under Presidents Jefferson and Monroe, Lafayette was now in a position to leave the trail of gifts which marked his visit. |
