LAD #6: Washington's Proclamation of Neutrality


The Proclamation of Neutrality in 1793 states that the United States will remain neutral during the war taking place between European powers (Austria, Prussia, Sardinia, Great Britain, the United Netherlands, and France). Washington also advices the American citizens to not get themselves involved in the war, because this would violate the laws of the nation. Should any American citizen go against Washington's proclamation of neutrality, the punishment would be equivalent to breaking the law and the perpetrator would face prosecution.
