B. They did not have the power to get involved in interstate conflicts.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Articles of Confederation was the first constitution for the United States, but was very weak and gave little power to the federal government. Under the Articles of Confederation, the federal government could not draft soldiers, regulate trade, tax the states, or even create and enforce laws properly.
Shay's Rebellion truly showed the people how weak the Articles of Confederation was, as the government could do nothing to actually stop the rebellion. Farmers who were in debt began to revolt against courts, causing an uprising and causing many people to get involved. These people tried to stop the courts from taking away possessions and land from them, as they were in debt, which they blamed on the economy and high taxes.
Since the Articles of Confederation could not draft soldiers and did not have the money to pay an army, as they could not tax the states, they had no way of ending the Shay's Rebellion. This truly made people realize that they needed something different from the Articles of Confederation and how it was harming the country.
The Shay's Rebellion was one of the reasons the Constitutional Convention of 1787 was called, as people realized they needed to amend the Articles and make it less weak. While this was the original goal, the Articles of Confederation ended up getting scrapped and the United States Constitution was created instead. Although some people did not want the United States Constitution, as they feared the federal government obtaining power, the Bill of Rights was created in order to protect the rights of the people.
