It could not have, it was a surprise attack
The Japanese hoped to catch the European colonial powers by surprise by attacking Dutch and British colonies located in Southeast Asia. They also planned to attack U.S. outposts in the Pacific.
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).

Washington had his army occupy the heights over Boston. His army could attack the British army from two different directions, so the British had to divide their forces to defend their position. He could see any impending British attack so he did not need to divide his forces. His cannon were placed where they could fire on the British positions. The British cannon would need to shoot uphill and could not shoot that far. General Gage, the British commander, saw the hopelessness of his situation and abandoned Boston.
Because the British believe that that was not the proper way to fight and therefore would not abide by it. The reason the tactic was highly successful is because it is a surprise attack on the opponent. This means that the leader could be taken out easily and the rest of the troops would scramble, which would make them easier to kill.
American merchants complained that the British were keeping Americans out of the West Indies and other British markets that they could make money from.
