The 3rd amendment prohibits the government from forcing you to quarter soldiers on your personal property. It was written in response to a common practice of the British army during the Revolutionary War.

Quartering was a common practice generally, troops were housed with the locals to guard (police) the locals.

Pretty common for Allied soldiers to house in WWII. But people in occupied France, etc generally were pretty cool to have liberators crash in their pad for a little while.

Well yeah, I'd rather have someone trying to rid the fascist fucks from my country stay with me than have a fascist fuck as a forced houseguest.
