Amendment 3

No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.

This amendment is a result of the quartering act put in place when the British soldiers could openly use a citizens house for their own purposes. This is to protect the privacy of one's home. The phrase "prescribed by law" leaves the amendment open for government to change. Not all will agree with a decision. 


This comic clearly enhances the idea that citizens have the right to not quarter soldiers.



This video explains a case in which a person's third amendment right was violated by the police. This shows that this is still happening today, not just with the British soldiers.
