This rebellion attacked many courts and was widely feared as a moment where masses took for themselves the values of freedom in a way that endangered property and order in the newly born country.
That's why in this context figures like Alexander Hamilton argued for a strong government: to deal with situations like this that threatened the status quo. According to him and other Federalists, the Articles did not have tools for this kind of situation as it was a document where the central government barely had any power.
