B It put more farmers in debtors' jail.

C People worried about having a weak central government.

D People wanted more individual rights.

Answer 1

C People worried about having a weak central government.

Shays' Rebellion highlighted the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation, especially the inability of the federal government to maintain order and respond effectively to civil unrest. This concern about a weak central government led many to call for a stronger national government and ultimately resulted in the Constitutional Convention of 1787, where the current U.S. Constitution was drafted.
