Explanation:

The Hartford Convention was a series of meetings by Federalist delegates. They proposed some extreme measures like secession. When the War of 1812 ended with a favorable outcome for the U.S. (though not directly due to the convention), the Federalist Party was seen as unpatriotic for their actions at the convention. This led to the decline of the Federalist Party.
