Shay's Rebellion was an event of monumental importance in United States history. The general basis of the revolt outlined the overall ineffectiveness of the Articles of Confederation, prompting delegates to come together to draft the current Constitution of the United States. Shay's Rebellion showed just how dangerous it was to have a weak central government.
The reason why historians consider Shays' Rebellion a significant catalyst in the push toward writing a new U.S. Constitution is because rebellion highlighted the fact that the federal government, under the Articles of Confederation, was too weak. The rebellion began in 1786.
yeah....the great rebellion
It established a weak national government with few powers. The only true power the government had under the Articles was to run the post office. A farmers' revolt called Shays' rebellion ended up proving the Articles were way too weak.
The government built up the U.S. military by creating the Navy Department and strengthening the army.
The US Constitution does not explicitly include the right to rebellion or revolution. It does, however, include the right to peaceful assembly and the right to petition the government. Both of these, as well as the freedoms of speech and the press, were used by revolutionary and rebellious leaders, such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Susan B. Anthony.

Shay's Rebellion was caused by farmers with major debt. This rebellion showed that the government under the Articles of Confederation was to weak because of the fact that the government was not able to prepare an army. Without the army, Shay's Rebellion went out of hand until the rich were able to get together and pay to make an army. People finally realized that the government needed to have more power in order to do such things like making an army.
