The Roman aristocracy believed that the masses of the poor had to be kept entertained and fed to keep them happy and prevent them from rioting. This prejudice was summed up by the expression "bread and circus." The circus was the racing track for chariot races. These races were very popular. Unemployment, underemployment and poverty was so bad that the state gave the poor a grain dole

Why was it important to have a constitutional amendment 3 against the quartering of soldiers?
The constitutional amendment does not prohibit quartering of solders! It only makes it so that if the government quarters a solder in your house, the government must pay you room and board. That came from pre-Revolutionary War days. Solders would move into people's homes. The home owner would have to feed the solders. Many people could not afford it. That amendment keeps the American government from acting like the government of King George III.
