The statement that best describes the purpose of the Non-Intercourse Act is:
"to allow U.S. merchants to resume trade with all countries except Britain and France."
The Non-Intercourse Act, enacted in 1809, was designed to protect American trade by lifting the embargo on all nations except Britain and France in an effort to pressure those countries to respect U.S. neutral rights.
