Answer:

The Third Amendment - "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."

On March 24, 1765, British Parliament placed the Quartering Act, making the colonist a host to any British soldier. By placing the third amendment, the founding fathers agreed that no American should have to open their personal property to someone without their input.
