- Shay’s Rebellion can be known a the event that caused the new Constitution to be written. This was a rebellion of veterans from the Revolutionary War led by Daniel Shays, a veteran himself.

Since the government could not raise money (or tax), they needed the States to tax for them, inevitably taxing the Veterans themselves. The veterans were losing so much money that they rebelled, and yet again the government’s weakness was shown, for they could not stop them under the Articles pf Confederation. In fact, the rebellion caused the courts to be shut down. This showed just how much power the government lacked under the Articles of Confederation. It was clear there needed to be a change.
