Why did the farmers want to change the articles of confederation?

Farmers wanted to change the Articles of Confederation primarily because the government under the Articles was weak and ineffective in addressing economic issues, such as high taxes and debt, which many farmers faced. The inability of the federal government to regulate trade or provide a stable currency exacerbated these problems. Additionally, the lack of a strong national government made it difficult to respond to rebellions, like Shays' Rebellion, which highlighted the need for a more robust and centralized authority to protect their interests and maintain order.
