Shay's rebellion was an uprising by western Massachusetts farmers due to the lack of a lack of a stable constitution. Under the Articles of Confederation, many lower class men were losing their lands and their money. Led by Daniel Shay, a group of farmers attacked both Indians and their fellow Americans. Shay mysteriously contracted a disease and died. The rebellion fell apart soon after. This rebellion made people realize that a strong central government was needed. Shay's rebellion is an indirect cause of the constitution.
