The need for a stronger national government was aired by the representatives of five states, including Alexander Hamilton and James Madison, at the Annapolis Convention (September 1786). The inability of Congress to deal with Shay's Rebellion (winter of 1786–1787), a revolt of debtor farmers in western Massachusetts, made the shortcomings of the Articles clear. In February 1787, Congress agreed to hold another meeting "for the sole and express purpose of revising the Articles of Confederation."
