The correct circumstance under which a U.S. president might send federal soldiers to enforce order in a state is:
**if a state’s police force could not keep the peace.**
This situation typically arises during significant civil unrest, riots, or other emergency situations where local law enforcement is overwhelmed and unable to maintain order. The use of federal troops in such cases is authorized under the Insurrection Act or other legal frameworks that allow for federal intervention to restore peace and security.
