It is sometimes referred to as Amendment III. 2  Patrick Henry said that the quartering of soldiers was one of the principal reasons for dissolving the connection with Great Britain.. 3  The U.S. government quartered troops in private homes during the War of 1812 and the Civil War.
Arterial Blockages. Blockage of the circulation in the legs is a common sign of atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries. Approximately 5 percent of the population over the age of 65 has detectable arterial blockage in the legs.
How they can cause leg cramps: Researchers have known for more than 20 years that beta-blockers can induce leg cramps, but they haven't yet determined why. Studies have shown that beta-blockers cause the arteries in the legs and arms to narrow, which in turn causes less blood to flow through the limbs.
