Detailed explanation-1: -How did Shays’ Rebellion encourage people to push for a plan to revise the Articles of Confederation? It made people worry about how a weak central government might respond to future rebellions. What did most State Constitutions have that the original United States Constitution did not have? A bill of rights.
Detailed explanation-2: -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. The British, of course, did not recognize the Declaration and continued to send troops to contain the rebellion.
Detailed explanation-3: -1 Answer. Shay’s Rebellion impacted the Articles of Confederation because it made evident how weak the power of the federal government was–it took them over a year to stop the rebellion.
Detailed explanation-4: -The uprising was one of the major influences in the calling of a Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia. The tax protest demonstrated that the federal government, under the Articles of Confederation, couldn’t effectively put down an internal rebellion.
Detailed explanation-5: -Shays’ Rebellion accelerated calls to reform the Articles, eventually resulting in the Philadelphia Convention of 1787. The Convention elected Washington as its president and ultimately produced the Constitution of the United States.
