Question 9 • Fall 24 American Government/Civics IC
The Fifth Amendment allows the government to take private property for public use only with just compensation, so the owner must be paid fairly (A). The government must also follow due process (D). In Kelo v. City of New London, the Court treated a broader public purpose, such as expected community economic benefits, as public use (E); the owner does not have to agree to sell (B), and the rule is not a simple comparison of personal and public benefits (C).
