Is the link to the article 'Time' in the following sentence not a bit irrelevant? The passage is this:

Time has largely invalidated both.

Why define 'time', but not 'to invalidate', 'to have' or 'both'?

It would be interesting to find out when the Third Amendment has ever been used. Does anyone happen to know? – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs, blog) 03:50, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

^^^^The only time the Third Amendment has had to be interpreted by the Supreme Court is Engblom v. Carey. Firestorm 23:00, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

Kingdom of Great Britain should be used instead of United Kingdom as later did not exist until 1801. Djegan 20:01, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

There's been vandalism or mistakes under the section "Modern relevance". The paragraph ended with some nonsense:

"then isaac smith run to lexington and shot himself in the face. 2pac was there and so was TI and they had a rap battle . if 2pac the patriots would win the war and gain freedom."

WOW!!!!This page (along with the other "acts" pages) are really helpful.

Wouldn't it be a smart idea to say why they did the quartering acts? Dermato1 The DJ.^T/_CDermato1 22:22, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Quartering Act of 1774

The Quartering Act of 1774 did not add anything which was not already in the Quartering Act of 1765, and the article should reflect this. On the other hand, if the Act of 1774 instead of confirming, was intended to replace the Act of 1765 this is significant since the most onerous provisions only appear in the Act of 1765. BradMajors 21:23, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

The second Quartering Act was intended to simply infuriate the colonists and to pressure them to comply with British Rule. This act was not meant to be either a continuation or replacement of the previous one. Cubie Newbie (talk) 22:26, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
