Amendment to the mutiny act
The '''Quartering Act''' was part of the [[Intolerable Acts]] in 1774, passed by [[Parliament]] to control the [[American colonies]]. The Act made colonists feed and shelter, or "quarter", [[British]] troops in the colonies. Anger over having soldiers forced into their homes caused the inclusion of the [[Third Amendment]] in the [[Bill of Rights]].
