Question 12 • EA Academy Civics 9

Why was there rebellion under the Articles of Confederation?

Answer
A
People were frustrated by the weak central government.
B
People were upset about the American Revolution.
C
People wanted representatives to write fewer laws.
D
People wanted the country to reunite with Britain.

Explanation

Under the Articles of Confederation, the national government was too weak to effectively respond to economic problems or help states manage unrest. Shays’ Rebellion, for example, grew from farmers’ anger over debt and taxes and showed that the central government struggled to keep order. This supports choice A: people were frustrated by the weak central government.
