The Articles of Confederation and Shay's Rebellion: Key Ideas and Government Strengths

This lesson explores the Articles of Confederation (AoC), the first governing document of the U.S. from 1781-1789, crafted by John Dickinson and ratified by the 13 states. The AoC had strengths such as the power to declare war and coin money, but it also faced significant weaknesses, including the inability to regulate commerce or levy taxes. Shay’s Rebellion (1786-87), led by Daniel Shay, highlighted these weaknesses as farmers protested against government taxation and debt. This discussion prompts students to consider whether they prefer a strong or weak government.
