What was the goal of Macon and bill No. 2?

Macon Bill No. 2 aimed to facilitate the re-establishment of trade and commerce between the United States and Britain and France by lifting certain trade restrictions imposed during the Napoleonic Wars. It sought to encourage both nations to respect American neutrality and maritime rights. If either country formally recognized U.S. neutrality, the bill would allow for the trade restrictions against the other nation to be reinstated. Ultimately, it was part of a strategy to protect American interests while navigating the pressures of European conflicts.
