The Embargo Act, passed by Congress on 22 December 1807, was designed to punish France and Britain as well as protect American shipping from any furtheracts of aggression by either nation. The act forbade American ships and goods from leaving American ports except for those vessels in the coastal trade.

Answer:Jefferson wanted congress to pass the Embargo Act of 1807 because after the attack from the British navy resulting in 3 American sailors dead, the public wanted war, but Jefferson didn't want to start affairs with Europe. This act ended up hurting America more than it did France or Britain.
