The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

The quote from the Declaration that inspires "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" is the one that refers to the Quartering Act, imposed by the British government.

In these acts, the government of England forced the American colonist to quarter Britisj¿h troops in their homes and provide them with food and shelter. Of course, the colonists rejected these acts, and with other issues such as the heavy taxation imposed by the English King, and the fact that the colonies did not have any voice or representation in the British Parliament, these were factors that started the American Revolutionary War of Independence.
