I had a look for pictures of the inside front covers of US passports and I see that you have upgraded yourself from a passport that merely requests that assistance be provided to one where the Secretary of State requests and requires it.
However, I have to advise that these days the implied "...or we send in a gunboat" is rather less strong than it was in 1850.
