"Quartering troops" is a term that was used in the Eighteenth Century meaning providing adequate housing for British soldiers. This was used in a series of Acts by Parliament to attempt to retain control over the American colonies. While it was a requirement for some time to provide shelter and provisions to British soldiers, the laws were often disregarded.
Lodging for troops, the British passed an act in 1765, called the Quartering Act. This forced the colonist to house them in Inns, and stables, plus they had to be fed too, all for free. Later this was updated to include using the colonist's private homes, the same homes where their families lived. That was passed in 1774, keeping all these services free, applying more financial pressure on the average person.
Additionally, "quartering" is used to describe a form of punishment for high treason during the medieval period. To be hanged, drawn and quartered, was considered the worst penalty in England, and was on their statute books until the Treason Act of 1814. It was torture and execution in one, usually done in a very public manner, many thought as a deterrent for others. For more details, please see the sites listed below.

This amendment resulted from way back in America's colonial times. After the French and Indian war(Seven Years War) in the 1700s, the British government had begun to send troops to enforce their several Acts( i.e: Stamp Act, Tea Act, Townshend Act) upon the colonists. To ensure they were properly cared for, the British Government required that all colonists provide the British troops with provisions and shelter;however, this did not mean that the colonists had to let them sleep in their home as long as the provided shelter was liveable. However, the most colonists weren't people who just had extra buildings to spare and the result of that would be the troops having to live in their homes. As you can agree, most colonists were not happy about "babysitting" troops and that is why shortly after the American Revolution had come and passed, The Constitution was written including a section that says Its people are not required to quarter troops in their homes.
