<em>Shay's Rebellion</em>
Explanation:
The Articles of Confederation was the first constitution for the United States. It is known for being very weak and giving little to no power to the national government. With the Articles of Confederation, the government could not regulate trade, draft soldiers, create and enforce laws properly, tax citizens, and other important matters.
Since the national government was so powerless, most of the power was in the hands of the people and the states. This meant that it was hard to keep people in check, which eventually caused Shay's Rebellion.
Shay's Rebellion was an uprise of farmers who did not want to lose their property and opposed high taxing. Courts were trying to take away their property, as many poor farmers could not pay their taxes. This caused many farmers to revolt, causing a few casualties. This proved the national government was too weak under the Articles of Confederation, as they could do nothing to stop this.
