The barracks at the U.S.army base is overcrowded Eric's mother tells him the U.S. Army has ordered her to let soldiers stay in his room.Eric says, "No way!'Can the U.S Army make them do this?

No, the U.S. Army cannot force Eric's mother to let soldiers stay in his room. The U.S. Constitution protects citizens from being forced to quarter soldiers in their homes without their consent, as outlined in the Third Amendment. This amendment was a response to the British Quartering Acts during the American Revolutionary War, which required colonists to provide housing and supplies for British soldiers. The Third Amendment ensures that such an infringement on personal property and privacy rights cannot happen again.
