The Constitution was designed to limit the power of government while ensuring basic personal rights for American citizens. The new government would be based on democratic principles. These principles placed the emphasis on the good of the people, allowing their participation while protecting their individual rights.
There were several immediate stated causes for the U.S. declaration of war: first, a series of trade restrictions, Orders in Council (1807), introduced by Britain to impede American trade with France, a country with which Britain was at war (the U.S. contested these restrictions as illegal under international law); second, the impressment (forced recruitment) of U.S. citizens into the Royal Navy; third, the British military support for American Indians who were offering armed resistance to the expansion of the American frontier to the Northwest. President James Madison and Congress declared what is sometimes referred to as the 2nd War of Independence, the War of 1812.
I️ believe it’s either B or C but I️ having a stronger feeling it’s B because it technically did violate basic rights through stereotyping and fear tactics kind of like with the Red Scare.
