The Third Amendment

"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."

This amendment is important to us because we need to be able to have the right to say yes or no to people entering your house.  Many probably think that it wouldn't matter if a soldier came and quartered their house in a time of war but who really knows how patriotic they would be if some random soldier came and took over their house.  There are many other options that the government could take before sending soldiers to take over houses.  This amendment is also a protection implied regarding privacy and property rights from government intrusion.  

As we can see from this image, having the government take over our homes is a quite upsetting subject for many Americans.  Like I stated before, as much as one would like to think that they would support the idea of having government officials enter your house without notice or permission, you really can never predict how it would make you feel.
