The British could choose to attack the United States after the Constitution was signed just the same way they did prior to it. The Constitution did, however, give America a more organized and legal way to respond to bullying and attacks by the British prior to the war of 1812. The preferred ways to attack the United States were these: Stop American ships and force sailors into the British Navy; ban American ships from certain ports; claim American territory as their own, when it was outside the 13 original states; build up their claims in Canada and the Great Lakes; pay pirates to attack American shipping (especially the slave trade).
