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.
I guess this was a big deal back in the day. I remember reading the British soldiers would just move into people's houses and stay until all the food was gone and the women were soiled only to pick up and go else where. In the summer there would be a whole lot of mulatto babies with bad dental work.
Now, this amendment seems kinda out there but it does talk to the rights of the home owner and the behavior of soldiers and agents of the state. The Patriot Act infringes on the Third Amendment but know one mentioned that or even cares until the IRS moves into your basement because we are at war with Haiti. If Haliburton and Big Dick Cheney wants to take over Mussel Shoals, Alafuckingbama to stop illegal aliens, they can do it as an agent of the government. Remember, there is a "war" on drugs and poor unfortunates. And you thought that was just a catch phrase.
That is why the Third Amendment was put there.
