The House of Representatives votes in favor of declaring war on Great Britain, 79 to 49. All Federalists vote against. The Senate takes another two weeks to vote on the declaration, and passes by 19 to 13. President Madison, as one of the architects of the American Constitution, realizes that this, as the new nation&#8217;s first war, an experiment in democracy, will serve as an example for subsequent presidencies. And so it will be. One of the causes of the conflict is the closure of the British market to Americans, but the Americans do not know that during the days of debate in Congress, &#8220;mad&#8221; King George has decided to reopen British markets to Americans, but British Prime Minister Spencer Perceval refuses to implement the royal order. Perceval, however, is assassinated on May 11th (the only assassination of a British prime minister to date), and the royal order goes into effect. Madison then requests and obtains a declaration of war on the bases that had just been completely depleted. The war will happen anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>United States.
