      All the jokes about the Third Amendment aside, it's a pretty simple narrative: That amendment was passed at a time when people remembered living under direct occupation in their own neighborhoods from "their own government" It's a very common issue under those circumstances

      It's not an "obsolete" law, it's a very common issue still in many parts of the world -- look at what's happening in Xinjiang right now We've just been fortunate enough to not have to deal with it, until recently

      Notably, soldiers busting their way into people's houses was a very common issue during the Civil War, from both sides It's just the Confederacy claimed they weren't in the US and under the US Constitution anymore, and during the war itself both sides went with that principle

      Wait, how did the Union justify it then? Or do you mean they occupied homes in Confederate states?

      To prosecute the Civil War at all, Lincoln's successful generals had to accept that the Confederacy was, in fact, correct when they said they had seceded, and that the South was therefore a foreign country filled with enemy combatants to be treated as such

      It was only afterwards that everyone went along with Lincoln's retcon that secession, effectively, never actually happened (because it was legally and constitutionally invalid) and all of the states had still been under the US government and US Constitution the whole time

      I honestly still consider it bullshit that when they list the total number of "American casualties" in the Civil War they always combine the numbers from both sides Like, no, 600k Americans did not die to "free the slaves", half of those died to try to prevent that
