The Shays Rebellion led to Congress passing a resolution that said that <u>states </u><u>will send </u><u>delegates </u><u>to a </u><u>convention </u><u>with the task of </u><u>revising </u><u>the </u><u>Articles </u><u>of </u><u>Confederation </u><u>in order to </u><u>Strengthen </u><u>the</u><u> central government. </u>
The Shays Rebellion:
Was an attempted rebellion by disgruntled ex-Revolutionary War soldiers who were in debt
Had to be put down by the states
Showed the weakness of the federal government as it had to appeal to help from states
As a result, Congress passed a resolution that called for a Constitutional Convention that would pass a new Constitution that would make the government strong enough that such a rebellion would not happen again.
In conclusion, the resolution was to strengthen the government.
The Vietnam War was a highly contentious period of time for the US, as it divided the nation in two and raised a counter culture that fought against government intervention. Many believed that the United States had no business in this conflict.
