Proclamation of Neutrality
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proclamation_of_Neutrality
The Proclamation of Neutrality was a formal announcement issued by U.S. President George Washington on April 22, 1793, declaring the nation neutral in the conflict between France and Great Britain.
It threatened legal proceedings against any American providing assistance to any country at war.

Background
News that Revolutionary France had declared war on Great Britain in February 1793, and with this declaration that France, by the country's own volition,

Proclamation
Cabinet debate
Washington's cabinet members agreed that neutrality was essential; the nation was too young and its military was too small to risk any sort of engagement with either France or Britain.
Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson, in particular, saw in this question, as well as in the other twelve,
the influence of the Federalists - his political rivals; yet he too agreed a proclamation was in order, though perhaps not an official one.

Pacificus-Helvidius debates
The proclamation started a war of pamphlets between Hamilton (writing for the Federalists), and Madison (writing for the Jeffersonian/Republicans).
In his seven essays, written under the nom de plume "Pacificus", Hamilton dealt with objections to the proclamation. Among these were:

*The decree was, in fact, constitutional; for while Congress has the sole right to declare war, it is "the duty of the executive to preserve peace till war is declared."[3]
*The Neutrality Proclamation did not violate the United States' defensive alliance with France,
as the Jeffersonians were claiming. The treaty, Hamilton pointed out, was a defensive alliance and did not apply to offensive wars,
"and it was France that had declared war upon other European powers", not the other way around.[4]
*By siding with France the United States would have left itself open to attacks within American borders
by the governments of Britain and Spain stirring up "numerous Indian tribes" influenced by these two governments.

Writing under the name "Helvidius", Madison's five essays showed the animosity that had evolved with the two political factions.
He attacked Federalists, and Hamilton in particular, and anyone who supported the Neutrality Proclamation as secret monarchists, declaring:
"Several features with the signature of Pacificus were [as of] late published, which have been read with singular pleasure
and applause by the foreigners and degenerate citizens among us, who hate our republican government and the French Revolution."
