Block 1-Shay’s Rebellion
The first block shows people fighting in court due to Shay’s Rebellion. Shay’s Rebellion brought debates over the constitution. People were fighting about Shay’s Rebellion because they were unhappy. They were unhappy because they believed they were not getting the freedoms they deserved. Shay’s Rebellion got its name after a guy named Daniel Shay. He was a farmer who refused to pay taxes on his land because he believed he should not have to. So, when they came to take it away he put up a fight. Daniel Shay rebelling gave others the guts to stick up for what they wanted as well. This was being discussed in the court because people started to voice their disagreements with The Articles of Confederation since Daniel Shay did.
Block 2-After Shay’s Rebellion
This block shows where the next convention took place. There was obviously a problem with the articles. Originally the meeting was to fix the articles, but instead they created something completely different.
Block 3-Articles of Confederation
The third block represents the constitutional convention and people arguing about whether or not the U.S government should be ran on The Articles of Confederation. It was written so that the United States had rules to abide by and to finally have some of their own law in order. The Articles had many problems with it though. With it congress has no right to tax, they also had no power to regulate foreign and interstate commerce, there was no national court system, and several others.
Block 4-Virginia Plan
The fourth block is showing representatives of Virginia coming up and having a plan that they believe will solve a majority of the issues. The purpose of the Virginia Plan was to protect the large states' interests in the new government. Many smaller states disagreed with this.
Block 5-Virginia Plan Problems
This block represents the problems with the Virginia Plan. Obviously the main issue which all the delegates could tell

    While the delegates were in Philadelphia they discussed that the A.O.C wasn’t strong enough, which caused them to bring up incidents such as Shay’s rebellion. This rebellion particularly alarmed the government because they couldn’t control the people. They had no power at all over them. Daniel Shay showed the government that they couldn’t stop the people from committing crimes. In one of the meetings the delegates, deliberated central government was unable to enforce its laws.
