Answer:

The United States declare war on Great Britain in 1812

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an excerpt from what is known as a war message by United States President James Madison to the US Congress in 1812. He sent the message on June 1st, 1812. After the deliberation of the message by the US Congress, the Congress ratified the legislation for the US to go into war against Great Britain, and James Madison signed the legislation on 18th June 1812.

Hence, what resulted from the actions described by President Madison in this quotation was that "The United States declare war on Great Britain in 1812."
