The event that began in Philadelphia as a result of Shays' Rebellion was the Constitutional Convention of 1787. The rebellion highlighted the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation, particularly the inability of the federal government to maintain order and address economic distress. In response, delegates from various states convened to draft a new Constitution that would create a stronger federal government with the power to regulate commerce and ensure domestic tranquility. This ultimately led to the establishment of the U.S. Constitution.
