Detailed explanation-1: -The Hartford Convention was not supported by the South or the West (C), and the New England Federalists were isolated and discredited, bringing a loss in political power for the Northeast.
Detailed explanation-2: -The war, along with the national crisis it had brought about, had ended. The secrecy of the Hartford proceedings also contributed to discrediting the convention, and its unpopularity was a factor in the demise of the Federalist Party.
Detailed explanation-3: -Rumors abounded that the Convention would call for New England’s secession from the United States in order to achieve the Federalist’s aims. Most New England Federalists, however, held more moderate views and feared that even talk of secession might lead to a civil war.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Hartford Convention Meeting in Hartford, Connecticut, in December 1814, party delegates secretly debated-and rejected-secession; instead, they drafted constitutional amendments strengthening state controls over commerce and militias.
