- A standing army and navy are dangerous to liberty and should be avoided; much better was to use economic coercion such as the embargo.
- The militia was adequate to defend the nation. During the Revolutionary War previously, a national conflict, in this case the War of 1812 required the creation of a national army for the duration of international hostilities.

It has been cited as a rare example of an explicit policy endorsement of what, in international relations, is known as renversement des alliances ("reversal of alliances"): a state abandoning an ally for an alliance with a recent enemy, sometimes against the former ally."
