=The 3rd Amendment= 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.

Description
This amendment essentially states that if the United States is not at war, then it can't make people house soldiers. If the United States is a war, it can only make people house soldiers in the way that the government has already established.

Historical Applications
After several years of comparatively weak government under the [|Articles of Confederation], a [|Constitutional Convention] in Philadelphia proposed a new constitution on September 17, 1787, featuring a stronger chief executive and other changes. [|George Mason], a Constitutional Convention delegate and the drafter of [|Virginia's Declaration of Rights] , proposed that a bill of rights listing and guaranteeing [|civil liberties] be included. Other delegates including future Bill of Rights drafter [|James Madison] disagreed, arguing that existing state guarantees of civil liberties were sufficient and that any attempt to enumerate individual rights risked the implication that other, unnamed rights were unprotected. After a brief debate, Mason's proposal was defeated by a unanimous vote of the state delegations.
