Shay's Rebellion proved that the U.S. government badly needed to reform the Articles of Confederation. The federal government was unable to finance enough troops just to combat a group of rebel farmers in western Massachusetts. One of the reasons the federal government was so weak was because they did not have the power to tax other states, which was thought to encourage the protection of every state's independence. But really, policies like these just rendered the federal government ineffective. The rebellion prompted the federal government to reevaluate itself. Eventually, it was decided that the Articles of Confederation needed to be replaced and this led to the Constitution.

The Articles of Confederation, ratified in 1781, primarily focused on establishing a framework for governance and did not specifically address women's rights or roles. However, the period following its adoption saw women increasingly involved in political discussions and movements, particularly during the American Revolution, which laid the groundwork for future advocacy for women's rights. While the Articles themselves did not bring significant legal changes for women, the era fostered a growing awareness of gender roles and contributed to evolving perspectives on women's contributions to society. This set the stage for later advancements in women's rights in the following decades.
