Third Ammendant - "places restrictions on the quartering of soldiers in private homes without the owner's consent, forbidding the practice in peacetime."

c. the housing or quartering of soldiers

Hope This Helps!

The Third Amendment prohibits--

well, lets go through all the answer choices.

A- Free speech. This answer is not correct, because the First Amendment clearly states "...shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech..."

C (the second choice)- The housing or quartering of soldiers. This answer is correct, because the Third Amendment says "No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house..."

B (third choice)- Persons from bearing arms. This answer is incorrect because the Second Amendment reads: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

D- A trial by jury. This answer is incorrect because the Seventh Amendment states "...the right of trial by jury shall be preserved..."
