THE KELO CASE
Question
Presented:
What
protection does the Fifth Amendment’s public use requirement
provide for individuals whose property is being condemned, not
to eliminate slums or blight, but for the sole purpose of “economic
development” that will perhaps increase tax revenues and
improve the local economy?
