WITH COMMENTARY & ANNOTATIONS
AMENDMENT III: QUARTERING OF SOLDIERS
Amendment III. 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.
There has been no Supreme Court explication of this Amendment,
which was obviously one guarantee of the preference for the civilian
over the military.\1\
NOTE:
\1\In fact, save for the curious case of Engblom v. Carey, 677
F. 2d 957 (2d Cir. 1982), on remand, 572 F. Supp. 44 (S.D.N.Y.), aff'd.
per curiam, 724 F.2d 28 (2d Cir. 1983), there has been no judicial
explication at all.
The foregoing commentary was originally published in a document sponsored by the United States Senate on the
United States Government Printing Office website.
