Why did congress pass the selective service act during world war 1?
Congress passed the Selective Service Act during World War I in 1917 to address the urgent need for military personnel as the U.S. entered the conflict. The act established a system for conscription, allowing the government to draft men into the armed forces to ensure adequate troop levels. With millions of soldiers required for combat, the legislation aimed to quickly mobilize and train a large army to support the Allies. This marked a significant shift in U.S. military policy from a volunteer-based system to one that included mandatory service.
Why was their a shortage of workers during the war?
The question is in the World War 1 category; I'm not positive whether that's the war you're referring to or not. However, in general, most nations no longer maintain a large standing military force due to the expense, so during a war, a lot of workers have to temporarily become soldiers. This means that there are fewer people to do ordinary work, and thus generates a shortage of labor. This was particularly important in 20th century wars when a lot of military equipment was large and highly mechanized... it takes a lot of labor to make, say, a tank or an airplane.

What would be an example of military force?
Military force is using "the military", trained and armed soldiers, to accomplish a goal. Military force is obviously used in wars, but it is also used in peacetime to control large crowds. It is also used when hostile action is taken, but war is not formally declared. For example, the United States is not at war with Iraq. Nevertheless, we use military force, with the Iraqi government's permission, to keep the peace there.
