Weaknesses of the Confederation
1. Lack of power to enforce the laws that it
made
2. Couldn’t levy taxes
3. Didn’t have sole power to coin money
Chapter 7 sec 1
Shay’s Rebellion
• Farmers in Massachusetts were losing their
lands due to the heavy taxes by
Massachusetts and the worthless money
• Daniel Shay led one mob of farmers to the
federal arsenal
• Were dispersed by the Massachusetts militia
• This showed the weakness of the Articles!
• Come and listen to a story ‘bout a man named
Shays
• Poor ol’farmer whose debts weren’t gettin’
paid
• So one day he rallied up his friends
• And that my dear is where it all begins
• Well, Shays and his friends they stole a lot of
guns
• They closed down the bank
• They shouted “Re-bell-yun”
• The wise men knew this Shay wasn’t a fool,
they knew to others he’d seem really cool
• (smart that is, John Locke, don’t ya’ see)
• Well the next thing you know the rich folks got
all scared
• Madison said “Let’s get out of here!”
• He said “Philadelphia is the place we oughta
be”
• So they saddled up the horse and they rode
off to Philly
• (PA that is, making rules, changing laws)
•
•
•
•

And that my friends was really just the start
Those 55 men were really very smart
They made a constitution for you and me
And it has lasted for two-20 (years that is)

Confederation

  1. More loyal to their states than to the United StatesDrafted in 1777 after the battle of saratoga
  2. Who owned this land? The US had to make treaties with the Indians in order to sell this land under the Northwest Ordinance
