Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Hartford Convention was a meeting of Federalist delegates from New England states who were dissatisfied with the War of 1812 and the policies of the Madison administration. They discussed a list of proposed constitutional amendments and voiced their opposition to the war. However, they did not advocate for secession or form a new political party. The convention's negative image in the public eye contributed to the decline and eventual collapse of the Federalist Party.
