People were frustrated by the weak central government.
Explanation: rebellions like Shays' Rebellion (1786–87) arose because the Confederation government couldn't levy taxes, pay debts, or raise a strong national force to respond to economic distress, debt collection, and foreclosures. The unrest showed the need for a stronger federal government and helped prompt the Constitutional Convention.
