 Third Amendment
In spite of the apparent superiority of Madison's quartering amendment, the select committee to which it and Madison's other proposed amendments were referred rejected it for a quartering amendment that read essentially the same as the second version of the states' proposals and the final version of Third Amendment.
Its constitution provides that: "No person shall be quartered in any house without the consent of the owner or lawful occupant."[226] This is the strongest guarantee against quartering in any U.S. federal or state constitution.
Applying the Ninth Amendment and the Fifth Amendment to the case at hand leads quite directly to one conclusion: the Third Amendment's enumeration of a constitutional right to legal constraints on wartime quartering shall not be taken to deny or disparage a homeowner's right to receive just compensation for a public taking.

 The Right to Keep and Bear Arms
When I became chairman of the Subcommittee on the Constitution, I hoped that I would be able to assist in the protection of the constitutional rights of American citizens, rights which have too often been eroded in the belief that government could be relied upon for quick solutions to difficult problems.
Following adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment, however, the Supreme Court held that that Amendment's prohibition against states depriving any persons of their federal "privileges and immunities" was to be given a narrow construction.

 Titles of Nobility Amendment Claims are Bullshit
But even before the ratification of the Twenty-seventh Amendment gave the other amendments to the Constitution that were submitted to the states but not ratified(20) their fifteen Warhollian minutes of fame, TONA also had received attention from a different--and disturbing--source.
Article V of the Constitution does not specify whether the states that are to ratify an amendment are those in existence when an amendment is submitted to the states, or also includes those that join the Union after the amendment has been submitted to the states but prior to ratification.
The Constitution's nobility clauses on occasion have been invoked by courts,(177) although most suits filed claiming a violation of the clauses are meritless.(178) Although we should not allow ourselves to be deceived and distracted by TONA proponents, we should attempt to address the root causes of their alienation.

 UNDER FIRE: THE NEW CONSENSUS ON THE SECOND AMENDMENT
The deception that leading constitutional scholars are accused of perpetrating on the American public is two-fold: First, they are accused of concealing from their readers the supposed fact that courts have uniformly rejected the individual right conception of the Second Amendment.
If the Amendment's purpose is only to assure the continuation and render possible the "effectiveness" of the militia, then it may protect state governments against federal tampering with their militia, but it does not guarantee individuals any rights at all.
Moreover, the Amendment refers to the "militia," a term which in the 18th Century meant not a formal military unit like the National Guard, but a system under which every household and every man of military age was required to own a gun in order to defend the community against tyranny, foreign invasion, and crime.

 CGSA - THE RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS; REPORT OF THE SENATE SUBCOMMITTEE ON THE CONSTITUTION   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
When a select militia is formed, the people in general may be disarmed."[34] Richard Henry Lee, in his widely read pamphlet "Letters from the Federal Farmer to the Republican" worried that the people might be disarmed "by modelling the militia.
It was not, therefore, a right granted to the people by the Constitution." Thus the very importance of the rights protected by the First and Second Amendment was used as the basis for the argument that they did not apply to the states under the Fourteenth Amendment.
The Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms therefore, is a right of the individual citizen to privately posses and carry in a peaceful manner firearms and similar arms.
