Question

6 which event highlighted the failures of the articles of confederation? a declaring independence from britain b borrowing money from france and spain c shays rebellion in massachusetts d negotiating the treaty that ended the revolutionary war

Explanation:

Shays' Rebellion in Massachusetts showed the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation. Under the Articles, the national government had limited power. It couldn't effectively raise an army to put down the rebellion. This highlighted issues like the lack of a strong central authority, which was a major failure of the Articles. Declaring independence (A) was before the Articles. Borrowing money (B) was a power the national government had under the Articles. Negotiating the treaty (D) was a success under the Articles.

Answer:

C. Shays' Rebellion in Massachusetts
