The draft law was used to force people between ages 21 to 45 to join the army unless they could pay the amount of money needed to get out of being drafted. Another way to refuse to join the army is to supply the army with another willing person, so you dont have to go. :)
The law itself called for "enrolling and calling out of the National Forces", and those drafted under this act were called "conscripts".
