The Massachusetts government responded to Shays' Rebellion by taking decisive military action to quell the uprising. In 1787, Governor James Bowdoin called for a militia to suppress the rebellion, which was fueled by economic distress and opposition to tax policies. The state legislature also enacted measures to address some of the grievances that had been raised by the rebels, such as easing tax burdens and providing relief for debtors. Overall, the rebellion highlighted the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation and contributed to calls for a stronger federal government.
