Amendment 3: No quartering of soldiers

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.

This amendment gives us an insight on the government policy regarding military and the public in times of conflict and cooperation. The government cannot ask to use our homes as shelter for soldiers. This does not have too much significance today, but it still keeps the democracy in the hands of the people. This amendment has stayed largely the same and will likely stay that way today.

This is a rather silly video, but describes the 3rd amendment nicely nonetheless. Giving up your home to a soldier for any time, as delegated by the government, would be an unusual thing in today's time. This keeps our property ours, and away from the intrusion of our own government.

This video is a real example of how police, in this particular case, are violating citizen's 3rd amendment rights by attempting to take over a house for use in a domestic violence case. The homeowner refused, yet police still took it with force. This is an unusual case but still one worth questioning because that line between government and property needs to be drawn.
