ECONOMICS
According to the Fifth Amendment, a government may appropriate private property for public use (such as road building) as long as "just compensation " is given to the property owner. In a 2005 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that this principle of "eminent domain" also allowed a city to appropriate homes in a poor neighborhood so that developers could improve the area economically. Document A. "The City has carefully formulated an economic development plan that it believes will provide appreciable benefits to the community, including-but by no means limited to-new jobs and increased tax revenue ... Because that plan unquestionably serves a public purpose, the takings challenged here satisfy the public use requirement of the Fifth Amendment ... Promoting economic development is a traditional and long accepted function of government." According to Document A, the majority of the Supreme Court in this case believed that A. the principle of eminent domain was unconstitutional. B. economic development of a poor area was in the public interest. C. a government may take private property without offering compensation. D. the Fifth Amendment did not apply to this particular case.
