The telegraph and telephone, like the post-office system, being a necessity for the transmission of news, should be owned and operated by the government in the interest of the people. LAND.—The land, including all the natural sources of wealth, is the heritage of the people, and should not be monopolized for speculative purposes, and alien ownership of land should be prohibited. All land now held by railroads and other corporations in excess of their actual needs, and all lands now owned by aliens should be reclaimed by the government and held for actual settlers
Providing free tuition to students will require funding from some source other than the students themselves. In the context of this resolution, it is logical to presume that the U.S. government will be the source of this funding. Let it be noted that the two sides of this argument should not be arguing liberal versus conservative ideology. This debate must be dominated by factual evidence in order for either side to support its stance on the resolution. Based on the preceding framework, my partner and I must factually prove that it is incorrect for the U.S. government to provide students with two years of free tuition to a community or technical college in order to satisfy the resolution and win this debate.
In their thoughtful book, Property, Thomas W. Merrill and Henry W. Smith posit that various factors induce governments to forbear from unduly undermining the expectations of property owners and, as a result, operate to safeguard the security of property rights.1 This essay seeks to explore this hypothesis, and questions whether one can realistically expect governmental forbearance to provide meaningful support for the rights of individual property owners. Can modern government be induced to forbear from making policy changes that unreasonably and unpredictably impair the value of property? Or to paraphrase the Georgia Supreme Court in 1851, is the security of private property “confined to the uncertain virtue of those who govern?”2 I submit that the answer is far from obvious. There are, of course, a number of constitutional restraints on government, such as the contract clause,3 the takings clause, and the due process requirement4. These are important provisions, but they have received such checkered enforcement in modern law that they can hardly be expected to compel governmental respect for the rights of property owners.
Economics Unit 1: Introduction to Economics No Dogs Allowed: Portfolio Project In Unit 1: Introduction to Economics, you will examine how individuals and groups must make choices regarding how to make the best use of limited resources. Land may be one of the most important resources that a community possesses. Citizens, governments, and businesses sometimes have conflicting views about the best use of land. In this portfolio project, you will analyze a community resource issue and determine the best way to resolve potential conflicts. You will support your decisions by applying the terms and concepts from Unit 1 to the case.
Kelo vs. New London Simply put, eminent domain is the power of the state to take private property for the use in a public project in return for reasonable compensation. Reasonable compensation is defined in terms of fair market value of the property. Traditionally the power of eminent domain has been exercised for the construction of large public projects, but its use is beginning to be broadened to projects involving not ‘public use’ but ‘public benefit.’ The decision in Kelo vs. City of New London, a case that came before the US Supreme Court in 2004, set a precedent for property to be transferred to a private owner for the purpose of economic development. The court found that if an economic project creates new jobs, increases tax and other city revenues, and revitalizes a depressed or blighted urban area it qualifies as a public use, and therefore the land can be seized, because it is viewed as a benefit to the public. The case of Kelo vs. New London involved an economic development plan for the City of New London, Connecticut, and the people who had owned land with in the fort Trumbell area.
Public Trust Doctrine Should we take care of ourselves? Are we even capable of doing that? The public trust doctrine is such a writing that says that we cannot in this aspect and that government ultimately must be the ones to do so. The Public Trust Doctrine holds that certain resources are above private ownership and reside in the trust of government for the benefit of the people. It is the duty of government to administer these resources to the highest public interest.
b. What issue or question is the court answering? Is the adjacent landowner liable for the damage to the hilltop property, because of the obligation for the owner’s retaining wall to provide lateral support for any property that resides on the hill? Or do the hilltop landowners hold total responsibility for the natural and artificial state of their home being built on such a property? c. Describe what the court decided and how it came to that decision.
This Asante ideology legitimized the state, which maintained its power by redistributing wealth; regulating the wealth any individual could accumulate through discretionary use of law and custom; and controlling and managing the rituals in which wealth was displayed. 5.
