3. Restriction of soldiers in private homes
The law says, “No soldier shall in time of peace be quartered in any house without the consent of the owner, nor in time of war.” This was also approved in 1791 along with the rest of the Bill of Rights.
4. Habeas Corpus
Habeas Corpus was first recorded much earlier than the previous ones, precisely in 1305. It was an English law that originated in the Magna Carta, and it requires that a person be arrested after a judge approves it.
What do you think of this? I can’t believe it was written more than 700 years ago!
5. Unreasonable search and seizure
This law was also ratified with the rest in 1791, and it states that nobody has the right to search your house and your property without a warrant. That’s basically illegal! Imagine a policeman coming at your door and demanding entry into your house. You will immediately ask about the warrant.
This is basically the people’s right to be secure in their own places.
