The Burlington and Quincy Railroad Company v. Chicago (1897) was a landmark Supreme Court case concerning the Fifth Amendment's Takings Clause. The case arose when the city of Chicago condemned a portion of the railroad's property for public use without providing just compensation, leading the railroad to challenge the city's actions. The Supreme Court ruled that the state must provide just compensation when taking private property for public use, reinforcing the principle that government actions impacting private property must adhere to constitutional guarantees. This decision helped clarify the balance between public interests and private property rights.
