The Quartering act was a set of two acts instated by the British Parliament, one in 1765 and one in 1774, which forced colonists to house and provide food to British soldiers. It was originally used for the reason that funding was not provided to house the soldiers elsewhere. This caused a tension between the colonies and the British Government since it violated the Bill of Rights. It was one of the events which lead to the Revolutionary War.
