Answer:

The significance of the Force Bill is that it overrode South Carolina's effort to nullify federal laws during the Nullification Crisis. ... Andrew Jackson then pushed for the Force Bill. He believed that the Constitution would be worthless if states had the right to nullify laws and/or to secede.
