How did the hartford convention propose to end the war of 1812?

a) by issuing the treaty of paris to great britain
b) by establishing a law that allowed the president to declare war
c) by adding a set of amendments to the constitution
d) by promoting interstate commerce through the elimination of tariffs

The correct answer is C. The Hartford Convention proposed to end the War of 1812 by adding a set of amendments to the Constitution.

Explanation:

The Hartford Convention was a meeting held in Hartford, Connecticut, by delegates from several New England states in December 1814 and January 1815. It was to protest the War of 1812 between the United States and Great Britain. Shocked by the trade restrictions that harm the region's economy, New England federalist politicians used the convention to challenge what they perceived as the favoritism of the federal government to the south and the overall decline in state rights.

Members of the Hartford Convention have agreed on a number of amendments to the Constitution to remedy these wrongs. The cause was compromised when the War of 1812 ended at about the same time as the convention was in progress. In the wave of patriotism that followed the successful outcome of the war, the delegates were labeled as traitors and secessionists by the general public.

an empire is a sovereign state functioning as an aggregate of nations or people that are ruled over by an emperor or another kind of monarch. the territory and population of an empire is commonly of greater extent than the one of a kingdom.[1]

an empire can be made solely of contiguous territories, such as the austro-hungarian empire or the russian empire, or of territories far remote from the homeland, such as a colonial empire. aside from the more formal usage, the word empire can also refer colloquially to a large-scale business enterprise (e.g. a transnational corporation), a political organisation controlled by a single individual (a political boss), or a group (political bosses).[2] the word empire is associated with such other words as imperialism, colonialism, and globalization. empire is often used to describe a displeasure to overpowering situations.[3]
