OK so here's how it really happened. Shays Rebellion- All of the farmers rebelled because the government was not helping them financially. They burned down government buildings. Congress had no right to stop them and had no control over them according to the Articles of Confederation, so they just watched the in terror. THIS BROUGHT EVERYONE TO REALIZE THAT THE ARTICLES OF CONFEDERATION WAS TOO WEAK. The convention was called to fix it but we realized that it had too many flaws and just created a new constitution. Hoped that helped :)

Americans largely viewed Shays' Rebellion, which occurred in 1786-1787, as a significant threat to the nascent republic and its stability. The uprising, driven by economic distress and opposition to tax policies, alarmed many leaders who feared that it reflected deeper issues within the Articles of Confederation. In response, there was a call for a stronger central government, culminating in the Constitutional Convention of 1787, where delegates sought to address the weaknesses that had allowed such unrest to occur. Overall, the rebellion underscored the need for a more effective national government to maintain order and protect property rights.
