Why is Shays's Rebellion so important to american history?
This rebellion caused people to realize that they needed a stronger government because they were unable to deal with Shay's Rebellion as successfully as they could have. The result of this rebellion was the creation of the Constitution in place of the Articles of Confederation.
Why is shays important?
It pointed out one the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation and the national government was unable to help Massachusetts when the governor called for national troops to put down the "rebellion." Farmers in western Massachusetts resented the fact that the state's tax laws favored trade at the expense of farming. The state legislature was composed mostly of merchants from Boston and other shipping towns and cities. In 1786, farmers assembled in conventions and demanded that their property tax be lowered. To make up for the loss of revenue, they called for the abolition of aristocratic branches of the government in Boston. A Revolutionary War veteran named Daniel Shays led about 2,000 armed men against the Springfield arsenal. The governor of Massachusetts asked for help from the national government but the government under the Articles was unable to act. The rebellion eventually collapsed but the problems continued.

Does the anti federalist or the federalist make a stronger agreement and you?
Actually both sides had a good argument. AAt the time I would say that the federalists had the better argument only because they were for the Constitution. But, although they had a good improvment to the Articles of Confederation, many antifederalists made a very good point about a possible tyranny or oppressive rule by giving the central government (the president) power to tax and control the army. The Bill of Rights was also stongly enforced by the antifederalists, which was important to add to the laws. Overall, I think that federalists had the better argument. Benjamin Franklin was a federalist also, and he pointed out that the Constitution was not perfect, but it was about as good as it gets. It is hard to make a central government, and the Constitution was a very good improvment to the Articles of Confederation. It is also a matter of oppinion, so really is your choice of who had the better argument.
