Answer:The uprising was one of the major influences in the calling of a Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia. ... The tax protest demonstrated that the federal government, under the Articles of Confederation, couldn't effectively put down an internal rebellion

Explanation: Although plans for a Constitutional Convention were already under way, the uprising in Massachusetts led to further calls for a stronger national government and influenced the ensuing debate in Philadelphia that led to the drafting of the U.S. Constitution in the summer of 1787.
