Eminent Domain
Eminent domain is the power of a government to take private property for public use, with compensation provided to the property owner. This power is typically exercised for projects like building highways, schools, or other public infrastructure. Condemnation is the legal process through which the government takes private property for public use.
The government is supposed to pay the landowner just compensation for the property taken and all damages to the remaining property. The problem is that the government’s objective is to pay the landowner as little as possible, and unrepresented landowners are often taken advantage of.
