represented in Hartford Convention and created the most absurd political
system.(Document B) The aim of the Hartfrodites was to discuss their grievances and
weaken the republicans. The Hartfrodites as followers of Hamilton believed in
federalism and wanted to get rid of the 3/5 law, wanted to impose an embargo act, and
prohibit presidency from same state for consecutive years. Therefore the Hartfrodites
since they were the minority of the nation wanted to do something to go against
Republican imposed laws but did it in secret.
