The first and second amendments get a lot of attention, but the third rarely goes to court. It reads as follows: “No soldier shall, in peacetime, be confined to a house, without the consent of the owner, or in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.”

The United States ratified it in response to a very specific set of circumstances at the end of the 18th century involving the British army. Despite this, there are some legal cases of the 20th and 21st centuries in which the courts have mentioned or considered the amendment.
