Shays's Rebellion showed that the Articles of Confederation needed to be completely rewritten to keep the country from falling apart.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

By 1786, in August, Daniel Shays, a veteran for the Revolutionary Wars, led an armed uprising in Springfield, Massachusetts, protesting what he thought was unfair economic policy and political corruption by the Massachusetts legislature.

According to Confederate articles, the Shay Uprising revealed government weakness and prompted many, including George Washington, to call on a stronger federal government to fuel future uprisings.

The revolt, which revived the rhetoric of the American Revolution, sparked a debate about the scale and authority of the American government, which eventually led to the creation of the American constitution.
