    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.

      God, what shitty verbiage. It’s so hard to decipher their intent in that last line. Like, there’s no way they read that and said, “Yep, clear as day. No way to misinterpret that. There exists no other combination of words that could convey our intent more clearly.”
