Original sentence

He was obliged to resign.

This is in passive voice.
👉 was obliged = was forced / had no choice

Rule used here

When “be obliged to” is used in passive voice, the reason or cause can become the subject in active voice.

So:

He → receiver of action

Circumstances → cause / force

Transformation logic

Passive:
He was obliged to resign.

⬇️ change to active

Active:
Circumstances obliged him to resign.
