what was shay's rebellion? How did it show the need for a stronger national government?

OpenStudy (rose21):

A powerful group of Americans believed that the national government needed to be stronger so that it could create uniform economic policies and protect property owners from infringements on their rights by local majorities. Men like Charles Harding helped to spread concepts created during Shay's Rebellion. These ideas stemmed from the fear that a private liberty, such as the secure enjoyment of property rights, could be threatened by public liberty- unrestrained power in the hands of the people. James Madison addressed this concept by stating that "Liberty may be endangered by the abuses of liberty as well as the abuses of power." Shays' Rebellion, was used as a warning by nationalists like Alexander Hamilton and George Washington to convince conservatives across the new nation that the Articles of Confederation set up a weak government. A new Constitution was promoted.
