Answer 1

Hamilton believed that in the federalist chariot, meaning that if all the states paid taxes it would strengthen the power of the federal government and supersede it above state authority.

Southern states rejected this because in their eyes, they were shouldering in tax burdens to states like Massachusetts that had amassed a huge debt from of the war.

Anti-federalists and state sovereignty sympathizers also viewed this as reminiscent of monarchial tryanny that had previously taxed them. They felt that they were under-represented especially since most people who vote came from either the landed or commercial gentry.

Answer 2

Did Dave mean "Annals of America" or did he really mean, as he says, "Anals of America" such as we have in the White House now (assholes)?
