Answer 1

Answer:

C. Gave the president authority to use military personnel to collect tariffs.

Explanation:

The Force Act was enacted by the 22nd Congress at the request of President Andrew Jackson during the Nullification Crisis.

The Crisis was between the state of South Carolina and the federal government. The state declared unconstitutional two federal tariffs, 1828 and 1832.

The Act expanded the powers of the president and gave him the authority to collect those tariffs with the U.S. army if he believed it was necessary.
