Which amendment prohibits quartering of soldiers?

• A. Right to bear arms
• B. No quartering of soldiers
• C. Freedom of speech
• D. No unreasonable searches or seizures

Answer: (B)

The main idea is protecting private homeowners from military intrusion by prohibiting soldiers living in private houses without consent. This is what the Third Amendment does: in peacetime no soldier may be quartered in a private home, and in war it can only happen in a way prescribed by law. The amendment reflects a historical safeguard after colonial grievances about troops being housed in civilian homes, reinforcing privacy and property rights. The other listed rights cover different protections—bearing arms relates to owning weapons, freedom of speech to expressing ideas, and protection against unreasonable searches and seizures to privacy from police, none of which directly address housing soldiers.
