courthouse?
A. By tradition, all parades started in front of
the courthouse.
B. It was the main meeting place in their
town.
C. If the courthouse was closed, then the
judge could not take away their farms.

Respuesta :

Answer: The correct answer would be C

Explanation: The Shay's Rebellion exposed the weakness of the government under Articles of Confederation. Most if not all farmers were outraged at the taxes levied by a distant and unsympathetic government. Since most farmers were in debt due to the outrageous taxes placed on them, they were not able to afford their farmland anymore and decided to rebel in front of the courthouse in order to prevent this from happening.
