In 1786, farmers assembled in conventions and demanded that their property tax be lowered. To make up for the loss of revenue, they called for the abolition of aristocratic branches of the government in Boston. A Revolutionary War veteran named Daniel Shays led about 2,000 armed men against the Springfield arsenal. The governor of Massachusetts asked for help from the national government but the government under the Articles was unable to act. The rebellion eventually collapsed but the problems continued. Shays and his followers believed they were simply carrying on the sprit of the Revolution. Thomas Jefferson, then minister to France, agreed with them. "A little rebellion now and then is a good thing," he wrote to a friend. "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." Washington did not agree with Jefferson. He welcomed the failure of Shays's Rebellion and he compared it to his having to use force to prevent a military coup by a group of army officers under his command. He believed citizens could not take up arms whenever they felt something was not done correctly or they had a grievance.
Shay's Rebellion caused three things to happen. It was stopped, but it also helped everyone see that the national government cannot be trusted to fix every issue and that there was a need for a new Constitution.
