Before Shay's Rebellion, the United States faced significant economic turmoil post-Revolutionary War, leading to widespread discontent among farmers in Massachusetts. Many were burdened by heavy debts and high taxes, which were exacerbated by a lack of hard currency. Disillusionment with the Articles of Confederation, perceived as ineffective in addressing these issues, fueled frustration and unrest among the populace. This discontent culminated in the rebellion led by Daniel Shays in 1786-1787, as farmers sought to protest against oppressive economic policies and demand relief.

The question is not clearly phrased but if you are wondering if the Bill of Rights was formulated before Shays' Rebellion, it was not.
