Madison ask Congress to declare war against England to stop the seizure of American ships

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Madison declared war against England in 1812. This was mainly done because Britain was always seizing American ships. These ships were basically used for trading with France and Britain's seizure of these ships affected the trade.

Sometimes Britain also seized the sailors who traveled on these ships. The seizures made by Britain were called impressiveness. The United States was however not ready to fight the war and did not have enough army or the required artillery for the war.
