Opening question: · What political, economic, and social factors contributed to instability during The Critical Period? The Critical Period The Articles of Confederation loosely united the thirteen states under the authority of a single-house Congress, with no separate judicial or executive branch. While the Congress established a process for settling western territory and negotiated commercial treaties, the problems of a weak central government soon became apparent. Difficulties with foreign powers arose from Congress’s inability to collect taxes, enforce treaties, or regulate trade. Conflicts at home involved interstate trade, a weak currency, and a large national debt. In Massachusetts, Shays’s Rebellion caused some Americans to worry that their property rights were at risk because the government was too weak. As citizens deplored the acts of lawlessness, many people began to call for a stronger central government. Shay's Rebellion An uprising led by a former militia officer, Daniel Shays, which broke out in western Massachusetts in 1786. Shays's followers protested the foreclosures of farms for debt and briefly succeeded in shutting down the court system. Although the rebellion was easily overcome, it persuaded conservatives of the need for a strong national government and contributed to the movement to draft the Constitution.
