What does the Third Amendment protect?

Freedom of speech
Right to bear arms
Prohibition of unlawful searches
Freedom from quartering soldiers

The correct answer is: Freedom from quartering soldiers

The Third Amendment of the United States Constitution addresses the issue of quartering soldiers, specifically prohibiting the government from forcing citizens to provide housing to soldiers in their homes without their consent during peacetime. This was a reaction to the Quartering Acts imposed by the British Crown prior to the American Revolution, which allowed for the arbitrary quartering of troops in private residences. The intent of the amendment is to protect the privacy and property rights of individuals by ensuring that citizens have control over their own homes without government intrusion in the form of military presence. This particular protection highlights the importance of individual liberties and the need for a government to respect personal space and property.
