To examine the relationship between the civil-military relations and the strategy of the war, this paper will trace the ideological and experiential background of the nation, examine the portions of the Constitution related to security, defense, and war-making, describe the security concerns and foreign policy considerations of the United States leading into the war, and finally, examine how the shape of the government and other internal factors influenced President Madisons ability to wage war. What will emerge is a picture of disunity and chaos in spite of a Congressional endorsed declaration of war.
