the U.S thought. Eminent domain was one of the first powers given to the government from the Fifth Amendment. Even though it was one of the first powers that was given to the government, it has become one of the most abused recently in numerous court cases. The vast majority of them end with the government winning with a rebuttal stating that no one can take property without due process of law or just compensation. Even in the past, the U.S government has used eminent domain to acquire property…
Land has been an integral part of culture since the beginning of time. From the Homestead Act to the modern real estate development age, we care about where we live. We showed through the American Revolution that we are willing to fight for the land we love. However, under the Takings Clause of the 5th Amendment we are prevented from this specific action, fighting for something we love.

of eminent domain and visa versa for mutual benefits. Seizure, without prior offer to you, the owner, exhibits zero attention to the owner’s interest. I agree the fact that it is (was) your (future) home means it ought to hold all definitions of home. No deed stipulates how many times one has to be at their home. We ought to have statues that secure us from losing our home(s) and there are no limits to the number of homes an individual may own. Case: City’s grounds for eminent domain. No…

New London court case, Suzette Kelo and eight petitioners opposed a eminent domain taking “projected to create in excess of 1,000 jobs, to increase tax and other revenues, and to revitalize an economically distressed city” (“Kelo” 472). Suzette Kelo claimed the “extensive improvements” that she had made on her house justified her ability to block this development plan (476).

Copyright Act of 1976, 17 U.S.C. §§ 102(b) (2012).
