How are shays rebellion and the whiskey rebellion different?
During Shays's Rebellion, the state was unable to control Shays and his followers and requested help from the government under the Articles. The Articles of Confederation was a weak government and was unable to support, with force, the state of MA in order to aid in the defeat of the rebellion. The Whiskey Rebellion occurred under the new Constitution of the US. Western PA farmers refused to pay the tax that was enacted on whiskey by the new federal government. This was the first test of the new government to enforce the laws it enacted. President Washington ordered troops into the area of western PA and the Whiskey Rebellion collapsed as it became evident that the government was capable of enforcing the law.
