Question

10. Why is the Third Amendment forgotten by so many Americans today?

Answer 1

The Third Amendment has been forgotten by so many Americans today as the court ruling stated that only private residencies were to be considered while enacting the Third Amendment and not all the government properties where officials resided during their tenure.

Explanation:

1. The Third Amendment was made to ensure that owners of private residencies had their privacy, unlike the times when the British had forced the Americans to house their men in armed forces in their private homes.
2. Later on, when this amendment was applied by American government officials to lay a claim to government quarters granted as their housing during their service period, the case proceeded to the court.
3. The court ruled justly by saying that this rule only applied to private residences and any not every place that you have lived in especially the government quarters as the quarters are government properties and granted as residences to men in government service only.

Answer 2

Answer:

Today, the Third Amendment is important because it protects Americans from being forced to quarter soldiers in their homes. Additionally, it helps define the right of people, and not the government, to decide who can live in their private homes
