Answer 1

The main purpose of the Hartford Convention was to protest the war with Britain. It was a meeting of New England Federalists who were dissatisfied with the War of 1812 and its impact on trade and their region. They demanded several changes to the United States Constitution in order to limit the power of the federal government and protect the interests of New England.
