The two conditions that contributed to Congress’s vote to authorize a declaration of war in 1812 are:

British impressment of U.S. soldiers - The British practice of forcibly enlisting American sailors into the Royal Navy was a significant grievance that fueled calls for war.
British support for Native American resistance - The British were seen as supporting Native American tribes in their efforts to resist American expansion, which was also a driving force behind the push for war.

These factors, among others, played a crucial role in the decision to go to war against Britain in 1812.
