Amendment III

Quartering of Soldiers

The text
"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."
In plain language
Editor-written · not AI

The Third Amendment bars the government from forcing people to house soldiers in their homes during peacetime, and only by law during war. It is rarely litigated today, but it reflects a broader concern for the privacy and security of the home.
