True,short and simple.
No, Napoleon did not trap President Madison into declaring war against England. The War of 1812 was primarily driven by longstanding issues between the United States and Britain, including British interference with American shipping, the impressment of American sailors into the British navy, and territorial disputes. While Napoleon's actions in Europe certainly influenced the broader geopolitical context, it was not the sole factor behind the decision to go to war.
Napoleon used the Non-Intercourse Act of 1809, which replaced the Embargo Act, to manipulate trade relations and provoke tensions between the United States and England. He falsely claimed to lift trade restrictions against the U.S. while continuing to attack American ships, thereby creating a dilemma for President Madison. This pressure contributed to Madison's decision to declare war against England in 1812, as he felt compelled to defend American honor and economic interests.
I think it is because England went up against James Madison but I am not really sure.
The precedence of declaring an act of Congress unconstitutional and subject to Judicial Review was set.
Madison knew Napoleon's motives, but he chose to gamble and see if the pairing of the France and America would make Britain sort of jealous and then open their ports to America. This Gamble did not work. Madison knew Napoleon's intention and he tried to play it for the best he could get, but it failed in the end.
