    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.
