Answer: Debt and tax collection

Step-by-step explanation:

Shays' Rebellion was caused by the large amount of debt that farmers were experiencing in the 1780s and a lack of economic crisis laws in Massachusetts. Shays' Rebellion was ineffective in its goal to help farmers, but it did lead to Massachusetts' Governor James Bowdoin losing the following election. Shays Rebellion took place during 1786 and 1787.
