Just Compensation Clause

Read a random definition: lex loci celebrationis

A quick definition of Just Compensation Clause:

The Just Compensation Clause, also known as the Takings Clause, is a part of the Fifth Amendment that says the government cannot take someone's private property for public use without paying them fairly for it. This is also called eminent domain. It means that if the government needs to use someone's land or property for something like building a road or a park, they have to give the owner money that is fair for what they are taking.

A more thorough explanation:

The Just Compensation Clause, also known as the Takings Clause, is a provision in the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution. It prohibits the government from taking private property for public use without providing fair compensation to the owner.

For example, if the government wants to build a new highway and needs to acquire land from a private owner, they must provide the owner with just compensation for the land. This compensation must be fair and reasonable, taking into account the value of the property and any damages or losses the owner may incur as a result of the taking.

The Just Compensation Clause is an important protection for property owners, as it ensures that they are not unfairly deprived of their property without receiving fair compensation in return.
