Which amendment provides that private property cannot be taken for public use without just compensation?

Answer 1

The Fifth Amendment to the U. S. Constitution enumerates five distinct individual freedoms:

(1) the right to be indicted by an IMPARTIAL GRAND JURY before being tried for a federal criminal offense;

(2) the right to be free from multiple prosecutions or multiple punishments for a single criminal offense; (3) the right to have individual freedoms protected by Due Process of the law;

(4) the right to be free from government compelled SELF-INCRIMINATION; and (5) the right to receive just compensation when the government takes private property for public use.

Answer 2

Number 5, in the Bill of Rights. This amendment is often used by people fighting eminent domain, which is how the government takes your property and gives it to a developer like Donald Trump. They usually lose, as modern courts tend to view the Constitution as having about as much legal power as the Dead Sea Scrolls, when compared to the political power of large corporations and rich folk like Trump. Very few private citizens have been able to fight off eminent domain proceedings undertaken by the government. Just ask the citizens of New London, CT who had their homes bulldozed by a developer so he could build a strip mall. Houses were torn down, but then the developer lost his financing, and the area is now a town dump.
