what was the result of the rebellion led by daniel shays??

Answer 1

Immediate result -- it was successfully put down.

Indirect, larger result -- this event, together with similar trends in other states, scared a number of national political leaders into believing the state governments could not be trusted to handle certain problems (esp the 'extreme democracy' of some parts of their population), so that there needed to be a strengthening of the CENTRAL (national) government.

This led them to call for, and write, a new Constitution.

DETAILS:

There is actually a lot of misinformation about the Shays "Rebellion". For one thing, the state of Massachusetts WAS able to handle it (some would say much to heavy-handedly), so it did NOT demonstrate the governmental weakness many claim.

But the whole thing WAS useful at the least as a propaganda tool by those who wanted a stronger central government and FEARED rural uprisings like the one in Massachusetts. It was their reports of what was happening that started to gain wider support for drafting a new more centralized Constitution.

At the same time, the more SUCCESSFUL actions of the related "Country Party", in taking over that state's government in 1786 (which explains why Rhode Island did NOT send anyone to the Constitutional Convention.. and was so late and hesitant in ratifying the document). This solidified the concerns, especially of large landholders and creditors that 'radical democrats' would sweep into power and turn everything upside down.

The following link contains several short articles on the Shays Rebellion which explain BOTH how it was reported and (mis)perceived nationally, and how it fit in with a more widespread rural (debtors) movement the states were struggling to handle.

Answer 2

the rebellion showed the weakness of the Articles of Confederation. Since the articles didn't allow the legislative body to tax, or have a national army the legislative body had to rely on the state governments. The legislative could make decisions but had no power to enforce them. This was a prime factor in revamping the articles of confederation which led to the US Constitution
