What did congress do as a result of John Madison's June 1 1812 speech?

Following James Madison's speech on June 1, 1812, which outlined the reasons for the United States to go to war against Britain, Congress responded by declaring war on June 18, 1812. This marked the beginning of the War of 1812, driven by issues such as trade restrictions, impressment of American sailors, and British support for Native American resistance against American expansion. The declaration reflected growing nationalist sentiment and frustration with British policies affecting American sovereignty.
