Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Passed June 2, 1774, the Quartering Act was designed to improve housing options for regular troops stationed in the colonies. It seeks to address American doubts about "whether troops can be quartered otherwise than in barracks" if barracks were already provided for them by provincial and local authorities.
