Explanation: took the quiz

Answer 2

`\boxed {\boxed {\sf Reform \ America's \ government}}`

Step-by-step explanation:

After Shays' Rebellion, the country realized the Articles of Confederation were failing. The weak, decentralized government couldn't even put down some citizens angry about taxation.

So, the Constitutional Convention was born. It ran from May to September in 1787. At first, the delegates thought they could just amend or revise the Articles. Some even wanted to keep them; but many realized they needed a completely new way to govern America, which would eventually be the Constitution.
