Based on your knowledge of the events leading up to the rebellion, how did Shays’s Rebellion highlight problems with the Articles of Confederation?

Shay's Rebellion showed the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation. When the central government couldn't put down the rebellion, the first stirrings of federalism began to gather strength.

Explanation:

Shays’s Rebellion revealed several problems with the Articles of Confederation. The economic problems that the states faced after the Revolutionary War required them to raise taxes and also created high unemployment and inflation. A stronger central government, which the Articles prevented, could have helped solve the national economic problems after the war. Also, after the rebellion started, Massachusetts had a difficult time raising a militia to combat the rebellious farmers. A stronger central government could have used federal troops to stop the uprising sooner.
