The Newburgh Conspiracy was a plan that took place in 1783 towards the end of the American Revolutionary War. It involved Continental Army officers, who were frustrated by Congress's failure to meet its promises to the military in terms of pay and pensions. These officers planned to challenge the authority of the Confederation Congress, threatening a possible coup if their demands were not met. The conspiracy was defused by General George Washington during an emotional speech to his officers at Newburgh, New York, hence the name "Newburgh Conspiracy". So, the correct answer is "a conspiracy by Continental Army officers to support a coup against Congress in order to gain their promised benefits".
