The 3rd Amendment to the United States Constitution is related to the British Quartering Acts, which required colonists to house and provide for British soldiers in times of peace and war. The 3rd Amendment makes it so illegal during peacetime to quarter troops in private homes without the owners consent. Only in wartime is it legal but even then it has to comply with the law.

∙ 13y agoThe Quartering Act, passed by the British Parliament in 1774 following the Boston Tea Party, allowed British troops to be housed in any house they chose. They were not required to pay the owners of the house for any services they demanded. This inspired the Third Amendment of the US Constitution, which states that in peacetime, troops cannot be housed in private residences without the owner's consent. It is only permissible in wartime, and even so, only according to law.
