Answer:

people were forced to house soldiers in their homes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Third Amendment says: “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.”

Today this amendment might sound strange, but it was created as an answer to the Quartering Acts, that were a series of Acts by the British Parliament that required local governments of America to provide housing and food for British soldiers.

People were forced to house soldiers in their homes.

The Third Amendment protects people's right to decide whether or not they house military personnel in their property during times of peace, meaning that people can not be forced to house them. The only exception is when the nation is in time of war and the order to house soldier has been prescribed by law. This Amendment is considered by many a law that indicates a preference for the civilian over the military.
