[@123four...]

With how infrequently historia civilis uploads, this is a nice thing to bridge the gap. It also stands on its own, keep it up!

[@akrzton1]

The #1 best Liberty’s Kids episode for Wizards of Waverly Place! Even better news: the show is coming back for a reboot!

How the hell do you have only 455 subscribers? Your videos are pretty high quality

[@bryanburlingham7694]

Thank you for this. I live in West Springfield and always love reading into Luke Day and his involvement in Shays' Rebellion.

Same here!

Why does this beat go hard? 🗿

[@TheStapleGunKid]

The Shays rebellion was an example of "States rights gone mad". Under the articles of the Confederation states could essentially pass any tax law they wanted and print limitless amounts of money. When this resorted in a violent backlash, the federal government had to just let it play out since they didn't have the power to pass taxes to pay for a militia. No wonder the constitution contained restrictions on the states ability to print money and pass tax laws.

[@IkeOkerekeNews]

The Constitution does not contain any restrictions on the ability of states to raise any taxes they want.

[@TheStapleGunKid]

@@IkeOkerekeNews Oh really? _"No State shall, without the Consent of the Congress, lay any Imposts or Duties on Imports or Exports, except what may be absolutely necessary for executing it's inspection Laws: and the net Produce of all Duties and Imposts, laid by any State on Imports or Exports, shall be for the Use of the Treasury of the United States; and all such Laws shall be subject to the Revision and Controul of the Congress."_ --US constitution, Article 1, Section 10, clause 2.

[@IkeOkerekeNews]

​@@TheStapleGunKid Those are for tariffs which would have impacted the single market and free trade area that most states wanted to create.

[@TheStapleGunKid]

@@IkeOkerekeNews The point is they were restrictions of the states ability to raise any taxes they wanted, so you're wrong. Accept it and move on.

[@IkeOkerekeNews]

@@TheStapleGunKid Yes, very minimal restrictions that had little to do with the actual subject of the video, domestic taxation.

[@CliffCardi]

Can Daniel Shays be credited as the man responsible for the US Constitution?

[@keystonehistory]

I'd say that if the US Constitution was the result of just one man it would have been done away with a long time ago.

[@CliffCardi]

@@keystonehistory well I know he wasn’t the only problem but you gotta admit that he was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Point is he’s an underrated character in the story of America.

[@keystonehistory]

@@CliffCardi Agreed!

[@benm.9435]

Damn. They really had to do Shay’s like that didn’t they?
