What is the effect of the quartering act?
The Quartering Act, which originated in the British Parliament in colonial times, ordered American colonists to house and feed British soldiers. There were two versions of the act, in 1765 and 1774. Neither was popular and in fact, increasingly, the American colonists resented these laws and sought ways to circumvent them; most state legislatures did in fact ignore or refuse to comply with them. These acts contributed to the belief on the part of the colonists that a revolution was necessary, in order to become independent from unfair British laws.
Was the Quartering Act enacted before or after the French and Indian War?
Yes, the Stamp Act was passed in March and the Quartering Act in June.
What forced the citizens to house british soldiers?
The QUARTERING ACTS did NOT require that Colonists accomodate British troops in Private Houses. This is an American myth. During the Seven years war (French& Indian War), the American colonists would sometimes pay some expenses towards the feeding and housing of the Royal troops that had been sent to defend them. Sometimes they wouldn't pay. In peacetime they were even more reluctant. In 1765 The QUARTERING ACT, required the colonist to provide, if no other accomodation was available, accomodation for troops in Inns, alehouses and places where liquor was sold. Alternatively in stables, barns or outhouses and to provide food, drink, candles and bedding as required. This Act was seen as contravening The Bill of Rights (The BRITISH Bill of Rights) and was abandoned to be replaced by the QUARTERING ACT of 1774. This act allowed for the quartering in unoccupied buildings, but dropped the clause regarding provisions. The Continental Army was, though, quartered on the populations of New York and New Jersey without their permission.
