The right of a government or its agent to take away private property for public use, with payment of compensation (something exchanged. ex. give my laptop to my friend and she gives me her Canon camera ).
The right of a state or national government to make public use of a private property.
Eminent domain is the government's legal power to take private property for public use, ensuring that property owners receive just compensation under the Fifth Amendment. It is primarily used for projects like roads, schools, and other public facilities. The process involves the government making a fair offer to the property owner, and if there's a disagreement on payment, the matter can be settled in court.
