PLEASE HELP!!!!! PLEASE!
Whether the United States shall continue passive under these…accumulating wrongs, or, opposing force to force in defense of their national rights, shall commit a just cause into the hands of the Almightily Disposer of Events,… is a solemn question which the Constitution wisely confides to the legislative department of the Government. In recommending it to their early deliberations I am happy in the assurance that the decision will be worthy the enlightened and patriotic councils of a virtuous, a free, and a powerful nation.
-President James Madison, Message to Congress, Washington, June 1, 1812
