Shays' Rebellion
Définition
- An armed uprising of farmers in western Massachusetts against the state government, Shays' Rebellion constituted a major challenge to the framework of government established by the Articles of Confederation. To many national political leaders, the rebellion highlighted the weaknesses and ineffectiveness of the confederation government and provided the justification for calling a Constitutional Convention in 1787 aimed at the creation of a stronger national government.
