The correct answer is A) Shays' Rebellion.

After the end of the American Revolution, many small landholders, including soldiers who fought for American independence, found themselves unable to pay the massive debt. European investors in the Revolution demanded payment in gold and silver, and wealthy businessmen tried to pry repayment from rural farmers. The farmers responded with the Shays' Rebellion.

People from Massachusets led by former Revolutionary War Soldier Daniel Shay attacked public buildings and courthouses in 1786. These people were poor farmers that did not want policies that made them lose their properties. By September 1786, Shays led 600 men to shut down the court in the city of Springfield, Massachusetts.
