Provide two adjectives describing eminent domain.

Asked by maniacpokemon43

Answer (2)

Eminent domain can be "legal" or "governmental." Eminent domain could also be viewed as "unjust" or "cruel" depending on its implementation.

Eminent domain is described as 'governmental' because it is a power exercised by the government to take private property for public use. It is also 'controversial' due to the debates it generates about property rights and fairness, especially in cases involving economic redevelopment. The Fifth Amendment guarantees just compensation for property owners affected by eminent domain actions.
