After Shays's Rebellion:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Shays's Rebellion exposed weaknesses in the Articles of Confederation and led to calls for a stronger central government. This ultimately led to the Constitutional Convention in 1787. Massachusetts was briefly governed by martial law in response to the rebellion, but this was not a long-term consequence. Local committees of safety were not specifically created to watch farmers throughout America, although some states did establish such committees during the Revolutionary War. England was not directly involved in the aftermath of Shays's Rebellion. The rebellion itself was not attended by delegates from each state, as it was a local event in Massachusetts.
