3rd Amendment
No quartering of soldiers
The Third Amendment to the United States Constitution prohibits the government from forcing citizens to quarter, or house, soldiers in their homes without the owner’s consent, during times of peace or war, except by a legal mandate such as a duly-passed law. This amendment stems from the colonists’ experiences with British troops during the American Revolution, where they were forced to house and provision soldiers against their will.
The Third Amendment is often overlooked because it has rarely been involved in legal disputes. Nonetheless, it remains an essential protection of personal property rights for people in the United States. The Third Amendment works in tandem with the Fourth and Fifth Amendments, as all three amendments guard against government infringement upon individual rights.
