The relationship between these two events is that Shays's
            Rebellion led to the calling of the Constitutional
            Convention.
Shays's Rebellion was a call for the
            Massachusetts state government to make laws that helped out poor farmers in debt.  Many
            other states had made such laws already.  The rich in America at the time were very
            worried by such laws.  They were worried by the fact that states had been passing such
            laws.  This made them want a new system of government in which the states would have
            less power.  Because they wanted a new system like that, they called the Constitutional
            Convention.
