Explanation:

• Option 1: The American Revolution ended before Shays' Rebellion, so this is incorrect.
• Option 2: George Washington was elected later, and Shays' Rebellion didn't directly lead to his immediate election, so this is incorrect.
• Option 3: Shays' Rebellion showed the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation, leading to calls for change, not strengthening, so this is incorrect.
