how did shays rebellion highlight major problems with the articles of confederation

Respuesta :

Shay's Rebellion showed the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation. When the central government couldn't put down the rebellion, the first stirrings of federalism began to gather strength. ... The government gave most powers to the states, and the central government consisted only of a legislature.

It showed that the federal government under the Articles of Confederation was incapable of mustering a strong force of men to put down the rebellion and that the Articles of Confederation would lead to long term economic problems.
