Answer 1

The flaw in the act passed by Congress that established a tax on whiskey was that it did not spread the tax burden evenly. This created significant discontent among those who were more heavily impacted by the tax, particularly small farmers and distillers in the western territories. This discontent ultimately contributed to events such as the Whiskey Rebellion.
