Was the government stronger as a result of the whiskey rebellion and shays rebellion?

Yes, both the Whiskey Rebellion and Shays' Rebellion ultimately strengthened the federal government. The government's response to these uprisings demonstrated its ability to maintain order and enforce laws, thereby enhancing its authority. The successful suppression of the Whiskey Rebellion, in particular, affirmed the federal government's right to levy taxes, while Shays' Rebellion highlighted the need for a stronger national framework, leading to the Constitutional Convention and the creation of a more robust federal system.
