The Preamble
The Articles of Confederation had several shortcomings that led to the need for the Constitution. These included a weak central government with limited powers, inability to regulate trade and taxes, lack of a national currency, and difficulties in enforcing laws. These weaknesses highlighted the need for a stronger and more unified system of government, which ultimately led to the creation of the Constitution.
The Whiskey Rebellion highlighted the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation, particularly the federal government's inability to levy taxes or maintain order. While it did not directly convince George Washington to revise the Articles, it underscored the need for a stronger central government, which he and other leaders recognized. This realization contributed to the Constitutional Convention of 1787, ultimately leading to the drafting of the U.S. Constitution to address these deficiencies.
The Articles of Confederation was the original U.S. Constitution which was ratified in 1781. Two of its weaknesses were its inability to levy taxes and regulate trade.
the inability of government to enforce the law
The inability of the central government to gain support from the states under the Articles of Confederation led to the drafting of the U.S. Constitution, particularly emphasizing the establishment of a stronger federal government. This was reflected in the creation of the Supremacy Clause in Article VI, which asserts that federal laws take precedence over state laws. Additionally, the Constitution introduced mechanisms for federal taxation and regulation of commerce, addressing the weaknesses of the Articles that had hindered effective governance.

Ah, Shays's Rebellion highlighted the challenges of a weak central government under the Articles of Confederation. It showed how the lack of a strong federal military and the inability to levy taxes directly impacted the government's ability to maintain order and respond to crises. This event ultimately led to the realization that a stronger federal government was needed, paving the way for the Constitutional Convention.
The Constitutional Convention (or the Philadelphia Convention, as it was known at the time) was called to amend the Articles of Confederation, the rules for the United States' first independent government. But when the fifty-five delegates attempted to amend the plan, they realized the task was impossible. The delegates scrapped the Articles of Confederation and secretly began working to devise an entirely new framework for government, the US Constitution.
Yes, Shays' Rebellion highlighted the weaknesses of the central government under the Articles of Confederation. The uprising, which occurred in 1786-1787, demonstrated the government's inability to maintain order and address economic distress, as it struggled to raise a militia to quell the rebellion. This lack of federal authority and financial power ultimately contributed to calls for a stronger central government, leading to the Constitutional Convention of 1787.
Daniel Shays (Shays's Rebellion)
The biggest weakness of the Articles of Confederation was its lack of a strong central government, which resulted in an inability to enforce laws or levy taxes. This led to financial instability and difficulties in addressing interstate disputes. Additionally, the requirement for unanimous consent to amend the Articles made it nearly impossible to adapt to the changing needs of the nation. Ultimately, these limitations hindered effective governance and contributed to the call for a stronger federal system.
