Third Amendment  

Definición

  • The Third Amendment to the U.S. Constitution provides that “[n]o 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.” This amendment is one of twelve amendments that the first U.S. Congress proposed in 1789 and one of ten that the states initially ratified as the Bill of Rights in 1791—states subsequently ratified another of the original twelve, limiting the timing of congressional pay raises, as the Twenty-seventh Amendment in 1992. Some judges and courts have cited the Third Amendment's association with the Fourth Amendment and other amendments in their rulings. [Source: Encyclopedia of the Fourth Amendment; Third Amendment]
