The
colonial reaction to the Quartering Act was negative, to say the least. Basically, the colonists
didn't take too kindly to the act at all. To them, it was an infringement on the 1689 Bill of
Rights, which forbade taxation without representation.
The colonists were
angry that they had not been consulted before the Quartering Act of 1765 was passed. Today, many
people believe that the Quartering Act forced civilians to house British soldiers in their
private homes.
