Question

based on your knowledge of the events leading up to the rebellion, how did shays's rebellion highlights problems with the articles of confederation?

Answer 1

Shays’s Rebellion revealed several problems with the Articles of Confederation. The economic problems that the states faced after the Revolutionary War required them to raise taxes and also created high unemployment and inflation. A stronger central government, which the Articles prevented, could have helped solve the national economic problems after the war. Also, after the rebellion started, Massachusetts had a difficult time raising a militia to combat the rebellious farmers. A stronger central government could have used federal troops to stop the uprising sooner.

Answer 2

Shay's rebellion was important to highlight the problems with the Articles of Confederation because it showed the people and government how terrible the Articles couldn't handle a crisis.

Many of the poorer people had to take large loans to keep their farms functioning while they were off fighting in the revolution. When the war ended, they had no money to pay the creditors back, who began pressing for the money.
