Answer:

The Third Amendment to the U.S. Constitution reads, 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. This basically means that if the owner of the house or property does not give consent, no soldier can stay at their house or property. This amendment was created because of the quartering acts that were part of the British government's rule over the colonies. The Quartering Act required the colonies to feed and house these soldiers. The third amendment gives Americans the freedom to not have to house or care for soldiers unless Americans want to.

Hope this helps and I hope u have an Amazing day!!

It is saying that the army can’t demand and force you to accept them and feed them in your own house in war or peace but if you give them consent (permission) then they can.
