Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The federal government's failure to quell Shay's Rebellion revealed the weaknesses of the Article's of Confederation. The Constitution set up a stronger system that would address these problems, such as the governments inability to tax which had proved problematic. It also addressed the needs of both large and small states through the Great Compromise, which set up a bicameral legislature that gave equal representation in one house and representation based on population size in the other. After dealing with the king of Great Britain, the Founding Fathers were very much against having another king, for fear of a similar tyrannical situation.
