It had everything to do with it, the farmers were having their land taken, they couldn't hold office in the government because they weren't rich and weren't being represented. John Adams and others like him did not want these people to be equal and took measures to ensure that a proper democracy was never formed. It was the rich vs. the poor, just as it continues to be to this day.

You really need to get yourself to a community college and take a history class. Shays' Rebellion was a bunch of farmers from western mass (mostly) that had to sell thier land to ivestors in eastern mass because they could not afford to pay off thier debts (which was thier fault) or taxes (which was the governments fault). Now, at the time, you had to own land to vote or to run for office, so none of these people could. You seemed to get that, but where does John Adams come in? Seeing how he was a foriegn minister in europe (I believe England) at the time?
