    The United States has actually not declared war since World War II. In Article I, section 8 of the U.S. Constitution, Congress has the power,"to declare war [and] grant letters of marque and reprisal."(archives.gov) But Article II,Section 2 provides that,"The president shall be Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States."

    DBQ 6 The War of 1812

    • 845 Words
    • 4 Pages

    In 1812, the United States declared war against Great Britain. Since the 1790s, American leaders tried to avoid getting involved in wars between France and Britain. George Washington issued a proclamation of neutrality which meant that the United States would not choose sides between France and Britain. In 1800, John Adams agreed to the Convention of 1800. This ended the alliance America formed with France during the American Revolution, which threatened to draw America into Europe’s wars. The next president, Thomas Jefferson, continued to steer clear of war with France and Britain. But when Europe violated American trading rights – Britain destroying American ships, seizing cargoes, and kidnapping sailors – Jefferson enacted the Embargo Act on American trading. This prevented trading with foreign nations, but failed to force Europe to respect our rights and put many merchants, shippers, and sailors out of work, which severely affected our economy. When James Madison became president, the United States continued to deal with the problem of impressment. This along with many other forces led Americans to declare war on Britain in 1812. The other issues leading up to the war were the political party of President Madison and the United States’ desire for expansionism.…

In order to stop this, Adams sent commissioners to France negotiating a treaty but, they refused and demanded large money. John Adams denied the bribery, which led to an undeclared war which lasted for two years from 1798 to 1800.

    In 1783, America won the American Revolution; this war gave them freedom from England. Twenty-nine years later, America still had many problems with Great Britain even after winning the revolution. Presidents Washington, Adams, and Jefferson tried very hard to avoid a war with Great Britain. When James Madison became President, he felt that Great Britain was being aggressive. America was not declaring war, but defending itself from a war declared by Great Britain. The main forces that led America to officially declare war on Britain on June 18, 1812, were Britain’s kidnapping or impressments of American sailors, Britain’s efforts to restrict the United States’ sea trade or maritime rights, and unofficially, the American wish to get more land in the west and from Canada.…

    The research question in mind is one that evaluates the foreign policy within in Canada. In particular, the question should focus on the topics around humanitarian crisis, conflicts, international crises, and economic sanctions that are imposed on foreign states.
