George Washington wrote the Proclamation of Neutrality in 1793. This was a document which was necessary because of the constant European warfare at this current juncture in time. Washington claimed that the United States would remain impartial to any of the European powers enganged in warfare ( Austria, Prussia, Sardinia, Great Britain, and the United Netherlands). Furthermore he enforces that people who disobey this neutrality of the nation are susceptible to punishment. This document influenced our nation greatly.
