Quartering really pissed off the FFs as that amendment was right after the RKBA.
The bill of rights wasn't written in order of importance. Technically the second amendment was actually the fourth, the first two didn't make it through originally. The first amendment would have kept the house beholden to and representative of the people. The second amendment was actually ratified much later as the 27th.
