Question

shays rebellion
need of a solution
shays rebellion exposed the limitations of the articles of confederation, which had made it difficult for the government to put down violence in its own states. greater power and unity would be necessary to make sure similar events could not happen again.

the federal government needed greater authority both to act in times of crisis and to enforce policies that would keep the nation stable

shays rebellion made it clear that the the articles of confederation needed to be strengthened. in 1787, the founding fathers held a convention in an attempt to do so, pursuing more power for the federal government.

during revisions at the 1787 convention, it became clear that the weaknesses of the articles of confederation ran too deep. rather than merely revising the articles, the founders ended creating a whole new government with a new constitution.

what effect did the articles of confederation have on shays rebellion?

• they stopped it by inviting help from france.
• they stopped the government from intervening.
• they recognized the rebellion as justified.

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation gave very limited power to the federal government, meaning it lacked the authority to intervene and put down internal uprisings like Shays' Rebellion. The other options are incorrect: there was no French intervention to stop the rebellion, and the government did not recognize the rebellion as justified.

Answer:

They stopped the government from intervening.
