Answer 1

Daneil Shays and his supporters demanded a moratorium on debt collection due to their heavy debt burden and inability to pay their taxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Daneil Shays and his supporters, as leaders of a tax rebellion in the 1780s, demanded a moratorium on debt collection. The farmers in western Massachusetts, who were heavily in debt and facing imprisonment and loss of their lands, owed taxes that had gone unpaid while they were away fighting the British during the Revolution. They wanted relief from their debts and a cessation of debt collection to alleviate their financial burden.
