Convention Protest on Militia Power and Federal Overreach
A 1814 Hartford convention denounces national attempts to control the militia and impose conscription. It urges states to defend themselves, proposes amendments limiting Congress and preserving state sovereignty, and plans a Boston convention if peace talks fail. It highlights economic ruin from federal policy, calls for state-led defense, and urges joint action to safeguard liberties.
