Shays rebellion was caused by this problem

a. government interference

b. control of passports

c. the northwest ordinance

d. economic depression

Shays Rebellion was started due to overtaxing. During the time, many farmers took loans to try to save their farms due to high taxes. When they couldn't pay they'd go to debtors prisons. Shays and a group of farmers wanted none of this so they tried to take over an armory. If I'd have to guess maybe D?
