The Shays and the Regulators protested taxes primarily by **preventing courts from collecting taxes or seizing property**. They aimed to resist high taxation and aggressive debt collection practices that were economically burdensome for many farmers. This movement included actions such as shutting down court sessions to stop foreclosure actions against those unable to pay their debts.
