d) by promoting interstate commerce through the elimination of tariffs

The correct answer is C. The Hartford Convention proposed to end the War of 1812 by adding a set of amendments to the Constitution.

Explanation:

The Hartford Convention was a meeting held in Hartford, Connecticut, by delegates from several New England states in December 1814 and January 1815. It was to protest the War of 1812 between the United States and Great Britain. Shocked by the trade restrictions that harm the region's economy, New England federalist politicians used the convention to challenge what they perceived as the favoritism of the federal government to the south and the overall decline in state rights.

Members of the Hartford Convention have agreed on a number of amendments to the Constitution to remedy these wrongs. The cause was compromised when the War of 1812 ended at about the same time as the convention was in progress. In the wave of patriotism that followed the successful outcome of the war, the delegates were labeled as traitors and secessionists by the general public.
