The Third Amendment to the United States Constitution is a part of the United States Bill of Rights. It prohibits the quartering of soldiers (military personnel) in private homes without the owner's consent in peacetime. It makes quartering legally permissible in wartime only, but only in accordance with law. The Founding Fathers' intention in writing this amendment was to prevent the recurrence of soldiers being quartered in private citizens' houses as was done in Colonial America by the British military under the Quartering Act before the American Revolution (1775/6).

Answer 3

I would discuss how it came about as part of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. In that realm I think you can find alot about how the British would force colonists to put up their soldiers during the pre-Revolutionary period. I would ask how this affected the colonists, what were the pros- or cons-, etcetera. The key point is that there HAS to be a reason it is in the Bill of Rights, the first ten amendments, and those reasons did not come up after the document, but rather were included because of past experience.

Answer 4

28th Amendment (CONGRESSIONAL TERM LIMITS) No person shall be elected to Congress more than twice, and no person who has been a Senator or Representative shall serve more then 12 years regardless of how those years were split by election, special election or appointment 29th Amendment (CITIZENSHIP) No one born to foreign citizens will gain citizenship. No one who has not been naturalized will ever be given citizenship for any reason by any body or organization of the US federal government. The Naturalization process will not be abbreviated, altered or modified to make it easier to give citizenship to individuals. All efforts will be made to remove non citizens from the US unless deporting them would be a grave risk to those individuals by their own governments. 30th Amendment (Restriction of the interstate commerce clause) The Interstate Commerce Clause is hereby limited to direct actions that influence business between two states 31st Amendment (Freedom of Speech) The free speech portion of the first amendment will not be limited by anything but actions that cause direct and immediate physical harm to others or fraudulent statements that cause monetary damages in speech as written under tort law With those 4 the country might survive

Answer 5

It's only been cited one time in federal court; Engblom v. Carey, in 1982. However, it is sometimes cited as the basis for the idea of a right to privacy; it implies that one's home should be free from government agents.

I suppose you could spend a lot of time on the Quartering Act, and what a hardship it was.

Answer 6

Well, to make it 2 pages, I would first off, say what the Quartering Act said, who passed it, who enforced it, who did it, and then I'd throw a little bit of my own opinions in there for analysis.

Answer 7

No Supreme Court rulings.
