Why was the 3rd amendment needed about 200 years ago? think about why it was included in the bill of rights.

Third Amendment from the Constitution ✍️: "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".

The British passed laws called Quartering Acts that allowed their soldiers to live in their homes of the colonists without their consent. This was because the Quartering Acts using a quid pro quo argument (a favor granted or expected in return for something/you do something for me I do something for you), saying that since British soldiers protected the colonists, they should be able to have housing, by the colonist. The practice continued during the Revolutionary War when British soldiers could take over the home of a colonist and demand housing and food. After the war, the colonists wanted to make sure that the new government could not do this again by adding the Third Amendment.  

Hope this helps, have a BLESSED and wonderful day, as well as a safe one! Also, hope your having a good 2020 ٩(◕‿◕｡)۶
