The correct answer for the box with the question mark is C. Constitutional Convention.

Shays's Rebellion exposed the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation, leading to the realization that a stronger central government was needed.

The Constitutional Convention was convened in 1787 to address these issues and ultimately resulted in the drafting of the United States Constitution.

The other options, War of 1812, Louisiana Purchase, and Declaration of Independence, are significant events in American history, but they are not directly related to the need for a new constitution following Shays's Rebellion.

Answer:

Correct answer is C. Constitutional Convention.

Step-by-step explanation:

Option C is the correct answer as it related to process of creation of American Constitution, which started with the adoption of Articles of Confederation, which can be seen as a first constitution. Shay's Rebellion was an answer to Articles of those who were unsatisfied with them, but with the Constitutional Convention this crisis ended.

All other options are not parts of this line of events.
