He led a rebellion in the United States which exposed the weakness of the National Government.

Explanation:

Daniel Shays was a former soldier of the Continental Army. He was the one who led the Shays Rebellion against high taxes and debt collectors in Massachusetts. This rebellion exposed the weakness of the national government formed under the Articles of Confederation. Shay's Rebellion led many leaders including George Washington to call for strengthening the national government to put an end to future rebellions in the nation. The Shay's Rebellion shaped the debate over the scope and authority of the government of the United States which resulted in the formation of the U. S. Constitution.
