Detailed explanation-2: -Shays’s rebellion led Washington and other Nationalists-including Alexander Hamilton and James Madison-to proclaim the Articles of Confederation inadequate and urge support for the Constitution produced by the Constitutional Convention in 1787.
Detailed explanation-3: -The fifty-five delegates who met in Philadelphia between May 25 and September 17, 1787, would not only reject the Articles of Confederation altogether, but they would produce the first written constitution for any nation in the history of the world.

This separation of powers ensured that power would not be concentrated in one particular branch.
