the rebellion of farmers in Massachusetts due to an increase in taxes

Answer 1

The following issues or events highlighted the insufficiency of the power of the central government under the Articles of Confederation:

1. The central government’s inability to impose taxes on states: This lack of power meant that the government could not generate revenue or fund its operations effectively.

2. The rebellion of farmers in Massachusetts due to an increase in taxes: This refers to Shays' Rebellion, which illustrated the weaknesses of the central government in maintaining order and addressing economic distress.

The other two options regarding the laws Congress created related to the Northwest Territory and the central government’s ability to create new laws without the states’ approval do not directly reflect the insufficiencies of power under the Articles in the same way as the first two.

Answer 2

Locke’s principle of a natural right to property was established in the Constitution. Certain guarantees in the Constitution protect the rights of people to own private property, enforce contracts, and engage freely in business activities. These freedoms are essential to a market economy. Article I of the Constitution also gave Congress the power to regulate commerce and encourage the free flow of goods between states, creating an environment in which business could thrive.
