Explanation:
The American economy immediately after the American Revolution had a lot of subsistence farmers with little access to hard currency and as a result could not pay off debts they owed. Veterans from the war were in debt as well as they were finding it difficult to get money they were owed by the government.

When the rebellion was eventually put down by state militia, people saw the need for a stronger national government that could react to such problems and more should the need arise.
