Before Shay's Rebellion, only congress could call the army into action. When Shay's Rebellion began, congress was not in session. No one had the authority to do anything. A movement arose to change the constitution so someone had the authority to act when congress was not in session.

The new constitution made the President the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces. He would be on duty when Congress was not in session. If a rebellion happened, he would be able to act.
