The Third Amendment: the Right to Privacy in the Home (Amendments to the United States Constitution: the Bill of Rights) Jason Porterfield 1.º edición

The Third Amendment guarantees that soldiers cannot be quartered with U. S. citizens during times of peace. At the time of its passage, this amendment made a significant difference in the lives of American citizens. It formed a separation between America?s military and its civilians. Although seldom cited today in court cases, the Third Amendment?s impact has been long lasting, and has given rise to military bases all over the country. This book richly explores the amendment and its history. Fascinating sidebars and photographs support the text.
