Explanation:

The Shays' Rebellion occurred in Western Massachusetts in 1786 and 1787. It was an armed uprising by a group of farmers who opposed the collection of taxes by the state government.

The Federal Government, at the time under the Articles of Confederation, was not able to put out the rebellion because it did not have the power to collect taxes or keep a standing army. The Rebellion was unsuccessful anyway, but it was defeated by local, privately funded militias.

The Rebellion shocked the federal leadership, and was the main catalyst for the reform of the Articles of Confederation, which resulted in the drafting in a new constitution (the current one).
