What sparked off Shays's Rebellion? Why was a weak national government created under the Articles of Confederation?

Answer: Answer of 1st question

The Shay's Rebellion was a movement by the farmers of Massachusetts led by the Danial Shay who was American Revolutionary War vet.

The fight between the rebellion and the government army was limited in the Springfield. The rebels attacked the Springfield Armory in 1787 to seize the armory, but it was an unsuccessful attempt.

Basically, the protest was against the economic and civil right injustice. The Shay's rebellion demanded the more power to the central government and to form a new government.

Moreover, the reason behind for sparking off the Shay's rebellion was also the demand of Constitutional convention. There was a week national government under the Articles of Confederation. Because after getting the independence from the British monarchy, the founder fathers were not willing to form a type of central government which would held power more than the states. There was a fear of monopoly of power by the central government which would be same experience like as the British rule. So for this thinking the national government was weak under the Articles of Confederation.
