Answer to Question 1

An ideal response will:
1) Note that after that Revolutionary War, a depression left many small farmers unable to pay their debts.
2) Explain that Shays's Rebellion was a series of attacks on courthouses by a small band of farmers led by Daniel Shays to block foreclosure proceedings.
3) Acknowledge that neither Congress nor the state could raise a militia to stop Shays and his followers, so elites assembled a privately paid force to do the job.
4) Explain how these events fueled dissatisfaction with the weakness of the Articles of Confederation system and spurred efforts to improve it.
5) Note that these efforts gave birth to the Constitution.
