The Force Bill, also known as the "Act to Provide for the Collection of Duties on Imports," was passed in 1833 and authorized the president to use the U.S. army and navy to enforce federal tariffs. It was specifically aimed at nullification efforts by the state of South Carolina, which had declared certain tariffs unconstitutional and threatened to secede from the Union. The Force Bill was meant to back up the Tariff of 1832, which had lowered some of the tariffs but still left South Carolina dissatisfied. The bill was intended to demonstrate the federal government's resolve in maintaining its authority over the states and preventing insurrections or rebellions.
