Definition
- The framers of the Constitution did not expressly address the legal concept of eminent domain, the right a government retains to take private property for public use. But the concept of the right of individuals to own and use their own property was of foremost interest to them. [Source: The U.S. Constitution A to Z; Kelo v. City of New London]
