The complaint about <u>quartering troops</u> refers to the British government requiring that colonists allow British soldiers to stay in their homes and requiring the colonists to provide food for them.

Quartering of soldiers meant soldiers would have the right to enter your home and expect you to provide them food and lodging.  That was seen by the colonists as invasive of their personal rights.

The issue of quartering of soldiers appeared not only as a complaint in the Declaration of Independence, but also became a featured right in the Bill of Rights of the Constitution.  The 3rd Amendment states:  <em>"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."</em>

Court justices have used the 3rd Amendment statement about the quartering of soldiers to show that the constitution does give attention to citizen's right to privacy, even if not using the exact term "right to privacy."

Why was Yellowstone national park created
o-na [289]
The Yellowstone Act of 1872 designated the region as a public “pleasuring-ground,” which would be preserved “from injury or spoilation, of all timber, mineral deposits, natural curiosities, or wonders within.” For a nation bent on settling and exploiting the West, the creation of Yellowstone was surprising.
