What was the porpuse of the Hartford convention?

The Hartford Convention, held in late 1814 and early 1815, aimed to address the grievances of New England Federalists regarding the War of 1812 and its impact on the region's economy. Delegates proposed several constitutional amendments to limit the federal government's power, particularly in matters of war and trade. The convention ultimately sought to protect regional interests and assert states' rights in the face of perceived federal overreach. However, its timing coincided with the end of the war and the Treaty of Ghent, leading to a decline in Federalist influence.
