MODERATORS
Are you suggesting the relevance or application of the constitution has changed over time?
I fear you can get lynched for that kind of talk
Well no, I for one am thankful that the government cant just house people in my home. Its just not tested very often, its a good amendment.
No that’s amendments is as relevant today as it was then. Unless you think that for some reason is would be more desirable for the government to force you to house soldiers for some reason.
Housing soldiers in citizens homes in modern times would be inefficient and dangerous. It would drastically affect readiness and deployability amd lead to general unrest.
It is in every way a very outdated amendment, as that's not how professional armies are fielded in modern times, nor is there any press to go back to what was a barbaric act when the law was past.
We likely dont need it, but it's basically moot, and the construction is impossible to amend.
