How did the Supreme Court ruling in the Susan Kelo et al., Petitioners, v. City of New London, Connecticut, et al. (Kelo) case influence the government's ability to exercise eminent domain?
Homework Answers
Ans) Government in Susan Kelo case affirmed that the seizure of private property by the government on the name of development is consistent with Public use clause (fifth amendment) which states that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law nor shall the private property be taken away without paying just compensation.
Hence this judgement put a restraint on government that it cannot simply take away the private property. If it wants to do so he will have to follow due process of law and provide just compensation to the owner.
