The Founding Fathers had experienced the policy (Quartering Act of 1765) of the British monarchy stipulating that colonists provide temporary housing and other necessities to British soldiers stationed in the American colonies. Viewed as an indirect tax by the colonists, the British government argued that since British Regulars were stationed in North America to protect the colonists from encroachment from both French forces and their Indian allies, the colonists should assist in financing the British expeditionary force. With passage of the Intolerable Acts of 1774, the British monarchy further strengthened the law requiring colonists to quarter soldiers. In particular, British soldiers requesting quarter in the homes of colonists living in Boston, Massachusetts were viewed with suspicion; the belief among many Bostonians was that these soldiers were determining the loyalty of the American colonists and/or attempting to locate members of the Sons of Liberty.
In order to avoid this circumstance in the future, the State delegations approved this amendment as part of the Bill of Rights.
The Third amendments is known as the Quartering amendment. It was put into the Bill of Rights in response to the British Quartering requirements. They would knock on a door and expect the people who lived there to house and feed soldiers with no compensation. It was a real drain on a family in the already small homes.
The Third Amendment is one of the least cited parts of the Bill of Rights, and was only included because England's practice of housing British soldiers in private homes was denounced in the Declaration of Independence. In fact, this grievance against King George is considered one of the fundamental causes of the Revolutionary War.
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."
It is not clear whether the United States violated the Third Amendment during the War of 1812 and the Civil War, when it required US citizens to house troops, because virtually no legal action arose from the practice.
The third amendment was proposed due to the widespread billeting of troops in private homes during the civil era. The following is the 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."
