As to your other examples, Shay's rebellion led to reform in the shape of the US Constitution, while the Whiskey Rebellion and the Alien & Sedition Acts undermined the Federalist government and led to Jefferson, Madison and Monroe of the Democratic-Republicans winning the next six presidential elections. After Jefferson's election, the new government repealed the Whiskey Tax and one of the Alien & Sedition Acts, two of the others having expired less than a month since Jefferson's election and the last, the Alien Enemies Act is still in effect today because it is not a bad law.
What all these cases prove is that the American system at the time actually worked. These three incidents led to significant reform of the government, both with the creation of the US Constitution and the destruction of the Federalist Party. In all three cases amnesties and pardons were issued, and in the fourteen year period over which they occurred only two people were executed.
Contrast this to when the French "stuck to their guns" in their "orgy of freedom", and excuted nearly 10,000 times as many people in the space of eleven months, the first example of the totalitarianism that Europe would become (in)famous for in the 20th century.
