The Third Amendment to the US Constitution prohibits the government from quartering soldiers in the homes of citizens. Based on a despised practice of the British government before the American Revolution, this ban on quartering seemed necessary at the time of the Framing, but does it have any relevance to our lives today? In this video, Khan Academy host Kim Kutz Elliott discusses the Third Amendment's past, present and future with constitutional scholars Glenn Reynolds and Jay Wexler.
The National Constitution Center and Khan Academy partnered to create a series of nonpartisan videos explaining the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and major Supreme Court cases, enlisting the expertise of Interactive Constitution scholars.
