Eminent Domain

Eminent Domain is an action of the state to seize a citizen's private property, expropriate property, or seize a citizen's rights in property with due monetary compensation, but without the owner's consent. ====== Eminent Domain differs from country to country depending on what country it is and whatever their rights suggest. For the United States, we seize that land if it's just and fair. But if we compensate it, the money actually does go back to that person who had their land taken from them. So in a way, they get back their money despite the problems transitioning from whatever started it in the first place. Canada resembles our system in the same why. They sell the place, but owners can still advance claims. Other that, public authorities can take away the home for public purposes. -Kelley :)
