Shays Rebellion was an armed rebellion that occurred in Massachusetts starting in 1786, motivated partially by post-war financial difficulties and comprised mainly of Revolutionary War veterans. This rebellion showed that the government as created by the Articles of Confederation was too weak and ineffective to deal with the difficulties that the rebellion was motivated by--as well as the rebellion itself.

What did Shay's Rebellion show?

Shays' Rebellion in 1786-1787 showed different things to different observers at the time -- and even now. At that time, an observer the likes of Thomas Jefferson was unaffected: he seemed to think that it represented an appropriate kind independence-mindedness among free peoples. For others, it demonstrated the need for making stronger powers available to the federal government, which is precisely what was enacted through the Constitution of the United States in the same period.
