Question

What is the most likely reason that the Third Amendment might be seen as not needed in this day and age

Answer 1

The Third Amendment states that soldiers cannot live in citizens' homes without the owners' consent. In today's time, soldiers no longer need shelter so desperately as to ask citizens for quartering room. This amendment was only created because during the American Revolution, British soldiers barged into colonists' homes and stayed there for shelter without the citizens' assent.

Answer 2

Today we don’t have battles in our back yard compared to 150 years ago. So there is no reason for soldiers to barge in. But if the battle does come here the amendment stops them from coming in. Though at the same time the U.S military has so much funding they could build there own shelters.
