Answer:

the British Orders-in-Council, which limited American trade with Europe

Step-by-step explanation:

The two leading causes of the war were the British Orders-in-Council, which limited American trade with Europe, and impressment, the Royal Navy's practice of taking seamen from American merchant vessels to fill out the crews of its own chronically undermanned warships.
