D) It showed government bias to farms and business

Answer 1

Option: A) It showed the government was able to act and solve problems.

Step-by-step explanation:

Congress in 1791 forced tax on the production of whiskey in the United States. It became a test for the Federal power in America where the government was examined. The taxes provoked the farmers as they showed their anger by frightening tax collectors. The rebellion erupted in Pennsylvania in 1794 between the locals and government. Washington sent troops to suppress farmers. The incident exposed that the government could react quickly and efficiently to solve such problems.
