Syn: Strength; vigor; might; energy; stress; vehemence;
violence; compulsion; coaction; constraint; coercion.
Usage: Force, Strength. Strength looks rather to power as
an inward capability or energy. Thus we speak of the
strength of timber, bodily strength, mental strength,
strength of emotion, etc. Force, on the other hand,
looks more to the outward; as, the force of
gravitation, force of circumstances, force of habit,
etc. We do, indeed, speak of strength of will and
force of will; but even here the former may lean
toward the internal tenacity of purpose, and the
latter toward the outward expression of it in action.
But, though the two words do in a few cases touch thus
closely on each other, there is, on the whole, a
marked distinction in our use of force and strength.
"Force is the name given, in mechanical science, to
whatever produces, or can produce, motion." --Nichol.

8. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) |
FORCE. A power put in motion. It is: 1. Actual; or 2. Implied.
2.-1. If a person with force break a door or gate for an illegal
purpose, it is lawful to oppose force to force; and if one enter the close
of another, vi et armis, he may be expelled immediately, without a previous
request; for there is no time to make a request. 2 Salk. 641; 8 T. R. 78,
357. And see tit. Battery, Sec. 2. When it is necessary to rely upon actual
force in pleading, as in the case of a forcible entry, the words "manu
forti," or with a strong hand should be adopted. 8 T. R. 357 358. But in
other cases, the words "vi et armis," or "with force and arms," is
sufficient. Id.
3.-2. The entry into the ground of another, without his consent, is
breaking his close, for force is implied in every trespass quare clausum
fregit. 1 Salk. 641; Co. Litt. 257, b; 161, b; 162, a; 1 Saund: 81, 140, n.
4 8 T: R. 78, 358; Bac. Ab. Trespass; this Dict. tit. Close. In the case of
false imprisonment, force is implied. 1 N. R. 255. And the same rule
prevails where a wife, a daughter or servant, have been enticed away or
debauched, though in fact they consented, the law considering them incapable
of consenting. See 3 Wils. 18; Fitz. N. B. 89, 0; 5 T. R. 361; 6 East, 387;
2 N. R. 365, 454.
4. In general, a mere nonfeasance cannot be considered as forcible; for
where there has been no act, there cannot be force, as in the case of the
mere detention of goods without an unlawful taking. 2 Saund. 47, k 1. In
general, by force is understood unlawful violence. Co. Litt. 161, b.; Bouv.
Inst. Index, h.t. Vide Arms.
