Question

which of the following best states how shayss rebellion and the pennsylvania mutiny affected congress?congress feared the spread of future rebellions and anarchy.congress feared the spread of slavery to western territories.congress feared the rejection of the union by states.congress feared the creation of new, rebellious states.

Explanation:

Shays's Rebellion (a protest by debt-ridden farmers in Massachusetts) and the Pennsylvania Mutiny (a protest by Continental Army soldiers over unpaid wages) exposed the weakness of the Articles of Confederation-era Congress to maintain order. Both events were instances of internal unrest, leading Congress to worry that similar uprisings could spread and lead to widespread chaos/anarchy, which ultimately pushed support for a stronger federal government. The other options are irrelevant: these rebellions had no connection to slavery expansion, state secession fears, or creation of new rebellious states.

Answer:

Congress feared the spread of future rebellions and anarchy.
