During the American Revolution, British soldiers forced Colonists to house them in what was called the Quartering Act. As a direct reaction to this violation of the Colonists' rights, they demanded that there be a provision in the US Constitution prohibiting the use of civilian houses for the quartering of soldiers ever again. Since 1789, it has not been a serious issue.
