Question

Which option explains the significance of Shays’s Rebellion in relationship to the development of the Constitution?

Answer 1

Answer:

The conflict led United States representatives to doubt the power of the Articles of Confederation in ensuring national security.

Explanation:

Shays' rebellion began in 1786, as a series of violent attacks by the farmers who opposed state economic policies that caused poverty and confiscation of property. During the rebellion courthouses and other government, properties were attacked by the farmers and by 1787 it evolved in a military confrontation. The reason for the rebellion lies in the increasing burden of taxes of the war debts on the farmers and Congress's inability because of the limited power in Article of Confederation.
