The correct response is: **The party's efforts seemed pointless & disloyal.**
The Hartford Convention, held by the Federalist Party in late 1814, was seen as an attempt to address grievances regarding the War of 1812 and to assert the rights of New England. However, when news of the Treaty of Ghent (which ended the war) reached the delegates, the convention was viewed as unpatriotic and out of touch with national sentiment. This perception contributed significantly to the decline of the Federalist Party, as their actions were interpreted as disloyal during a time of growing national unity following the war.
