| | Eminent domain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The term eminent domain is used primarily in the United States, where the term was derived in the mid-19th Century from a legal treatise written by the Dutch jurist Hugo Grotius in 1625. | | | Eminent domain (US), compulsory purchase (United Kingdom, New Zealand), compulsory acquisition (Australia) or expropriation (Canada, South Africa) in common law legal systems is the power of the state to expropriate private property without the owner's consent. | | | In the United States, the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution requires that just compensation be paid when the power of eminent domain is used, and requires that the property be taken for "public use". |

| | Eminent Domain |
| | Eminent domain refers to the power possessed by the state over all property within the state, specifically its power to appropriate property for a public use. | | | Eminent domain law and legal procedures vary, sometimes significantly, between jurisdictions. | | | If the owner does not wish to sell, the government files a court action to exercise eminent domain, and serves or publishes notice of the hearing as required by law. |

| | Eminent Domain |
| | "Eminent domain," often called "condemnation," is the legal process by which a public body (and certain private bodies, such as utility companies, railroads, redevelopment corporations and some others) are given the legal power to acquire private property for a use that has been declared to be public by constitution, statute or ordinance. | | | To use the power of eminent domain, the condemnor must be authorized, by statute or ordinance, to take the property for a specific public purpose. | | | Under the United States and Missouri constitutions, private property may be taken by eminent domain so long as the taking is for a public purpose and the condemnor pays just compensation. |

| | Eminent domain is recognized by U.S. courts as a fundamental power of government. | | | Thus, property owners in some states may be legally protected against the type of eminent domain action at issue in the Kelo case. | | | Indeed, many States already impose 'public use' requirements that are stricter than the federal baseline." Some of these requirements have been established by state constitutional law, while others are provided by state eminent domain statutes that limit the grounds upon which condemnations may be exercised. |

| | Eminent Domain: the power of a government to take private property for public use; the 5th Amendment of the US Constitution and articles in many state constitutions allow this practice provided that just compensation is made. | | | Already prefiled are House bills 943 and 960, both of which severely limit the use of eminent domain, and House resolutions 1036 and 1037, which seek amendments to the state's constitution. | | | The councils' stance on eminent domain, which lawmakers acknowledged is a "hot button" legislative issue, comes partly in response to legislation proposed by state Sen. Susan Garrett (D-Lake Forest) that would give landowners in Illinois more standing in court to contest the basis for certain attempts at condemnation. |

| | This use of eminent domain for obviously private benefit has been made possible only because courts have abdicated their role of protecting individual rights and limiting government power. | | | In the United States, both federal and state constitutions always have constrained eminent domain by requiring that private property be taken only for "public use." There is good reason for restraint. | | | However, "Midkiff embodies the lavish deference to governmental regulation of property rights from which the Court has retreated" in the last ten years.(8) The time may be ripe for reexamination of the public use requirement for takings. |

Once an area was declared to be a slum or blighted, it could be cleared using eminent domain, and the property could often then be transferred to another private party. | | | The federal and state constitutions all say that property may only be condemned for "public use." For many years, governments applied that term to mean that property could be taken for things like roads, schools, and public buildings. |

| | Parker, a 1954 case, a unanimous court permitted eminent domain to be deployed for purposes of what was then called "urban renewal." It allowed property to be seized from private owners in an inner-city slum and sold to new owners for redevelopment. | | | The power of eminent domain is an ancient attribute of sovereignty, but the Constitution restricts it in two crucial ways: (1) The government can only take private property when it is necessary for a "public use," and (2) the owner must be paid "just compensation." | | | The final passage in the Fifth Amendment is short and to the point: "Nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation." Like the rest of the Bill of Rights, that provision was intended by its authors to keep Americans free by shielding them from unbridled government force. |
