Look at the word enforce in the passage below.
Until 2017, it was against the law to throw snowballs in the town of Severance, Colorado. That law was made over one hundred years ago, and police did not enforce it anymore. So even though throwing snowballs was illegal, no one actually got punished for it.
Then a third grader decided the law needed to change. He told the town board that it was silly to have a law that no one had to follow. The board agreed, and they made snowball fights legal.
What is the meaning of enforce as used in the passage?
break a rule
pass a rule
make people obey a law
to change a law
