The Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment states that; “Nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.”; Through various court opinions the interpretations of this clause have expanded the governmental power. Using cases we have discussed in class, do you believe that the interpretations are correct or not? How would you alter them or why would you not? Are some correct and others wrong? Is economic due process properly used in these cases?
