Third Amendment

"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 was important to the colonist because they were forced to quarter British soldiers before the American Revolution. It probably does not have as much importance today because we have plenty of barracks and places to house soldiers outside of our homes. Also, we have not and probably will not fight a war on our own soil in a long time, thus rendering this amendment pretty useless.

In this video a soldier talks about the newly updated barracks because in this country our soldiers live in barracks, they don't force themselves into our home.



In this video a couple of guys put on a skit about our third amendment rights.
