b. Embargo Act

Explanation:

The embargo Act of 1807 was an act signed by the president Thomas Jefferson in 1807 and passed by the congress that prohibited the trade with all English and French ports while the Napoleonic wars lasted, this was in order to fight back to the bills passed by the English and French governments of no trading with neutral parties or opposite parties, so since American ships were neutral trading ships were being seized by the French and British navies, and the men were being forced to join their navy, so in order to stop this from happening the president passed the impopular Embargo Act to prevent more ships and more men to be taken in French and British ports.
