Question

"That military powers of the Commander in Chief were not to supersede representative

government of internal affairs seems obvious from the Constitution and from elementary American history. Time out of mind, and even now, in many parts of the world, a military

commander can seize private housing to shelter his troops. Not so, however, in the United

States, for the Third Amendment says."


-Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer (1952)


Q: Which protection in the Bill of Rights is described in the excerpt?


F) Right to own and bear arms.


G) Right to trial by jury of peers.


H) Freedom from unreasonable searches.


J) Freedom from forced quartering of soldiers.

Answer 1

J.

Step-by-step explanation:

Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. et al. v. Sawyer was a milestone in the Supreme Court of the United States in deciding to limit the powers of the President of the United States in forced quartering of soldiers.

The Third Amendment of the United States, prohibit forced quartering of soldiers in private homes without the owner's assent to it.

During the time of Korean War in 1950, President Truman seized the properties of steel factories as the workers intimidated to go on strike. President Truman considering the situation of war seized the properties and put it under the federal control, to which the Supreme Court restricted such acts of the President of the US. The court ruled under the Third Amendment of the Constitution that forced seizing of any private property during the wartime should not be done without Congressional approval.

Therefore, the correct answer is option J.
