Eminent domain is the power given to the government to take private property for public use by the state. The fifth amendment allows the government to do this, if they compensate the owner of the property. In general I do not agree with the eminent domain given to the government. I see this as abuse of authority, and abuse of police power. It's doesn't seem fair, to take ones home and simply give them some of what its actually worth. The police shouldnt have the right to do this. Imagine the police taking the house you've lived in for twenty years, and they build a mall where your house is. It simply doesn't seem fair.
