Answer:


\boxed {\tt Third \ Amendment}

Step-by-step explanation:

This situation is also known as quartering soldiers, where the government forces someone to house a solider in their home.

The third amendment was created because the colonists had to quarter British soldiers during the French and Indian War. So, the third amendment prohibits this practice during times of peace.

Therefore, the correct amendment is the Third Amendment
