The Force Bill authorized President Jackson to use federal power, including the military, to enforce federal laws and collect tariffs in South Carolina if necessary. It did not authorize him to arrest John Calhoun for treason; Calhoun’s opposition to the tariff was not itself an order to arrest him.
