The most accurate inference from the excerpt about why the Hartford Convention hurt the Federalist party is:

  1. Some delegates suggested leaving the Union completely.

This choice reflects the extreme measures some delegates were willing to consider, which alienated many potential supporters and contributed to the decline of the Federalist party in the aftermath of the War of 1812.
