- History of the Third Amendment During the American Revolutionary War, American colonists were often asked to allow soldiers to temporarily live in their homes.

One of these acts were a part of the Intolerable Acts, which were thought to greatly violate the colonists’ privacy. Because British soldiers did not have bases across the colonies, the soldiers needed somewhere to stay at night. After the Quartering Acts were passed, a soldier could demand to say in barns, uninhabited houses, or in places like stables, bars, and inns. British soldiers could also take the property of the American colonists during the Revolutionary War. The American colonists were very angry about this, which is why the Third Amendment was included in the Bill of Rights. The Third Amendment was introduced by James Madison.
