Which phrase in the English Bill of Rights 1689 is reflected in the US Constitution's Third Amendment?

  1. Free speech

  2. Keeping a standing army

  3. Right to bear arms

  4. Protection against self-incrimination

The correct answer is: Keeping a standing army

The Third Amendment of the US Constitution reflects the phrase "keeping a standing army" from the English Bill of Rights 1689. This amendment prevents the government from forcing citizens to quarter or house soldiers during peacetime without their consent. While free speech and the right to bear arms are also important rights protected by the US Constitution, they are not directly mentioned in the Third Amendment. Protection against self-incrimination, on the other hand, is reflected in the Fifth Amendment of the US Constitution, not the Third. Therefore, B is the most appropriate answer as it directly relates to the Third Amendment and is reflected in both documents.
