What makes up a GVWR rating?
I am wondering what it is in the design of a trailer's frame and suspension or otherwise that gives it a particular GVWR rating. Is it the axles primarily? We have a trailer with a GVWR of 6800 lb...

Seems to me that none of these laws apply to anyone except commercial drivers. I'm with another prior poster, that GVWR's are not legally binding for non-commercial drivers.
And why are we even discussing this here? WHO CARES. The OP's trailer is under-engineered and has a false GVWR. Its not about what the law says regarding weights right now, he cant even tow the darn thing!!!! The poor guy has been pulled thru the ringer by this trailer company and the dealer.
Apparently the OP cares as he is participating in the GVWR discussions.
I do agree the OP trailer is a mess and the dealer should go to bat for him on getting money back or a replacement unit to his liking. He currently is waiting on a proposal from the mfg.
