Assignment:
Unlike many English language constitutions, the United States Constitution specifically provides for a mechanism for the government to involuntarily take private real property from its citizens. The only requirement that the government must show is that the taking is for a "public" purpose. There is no requirement that the taking be "necessary" or even "reasonable." Any stated government purpose suffices. If the public purpose is demonstrated, then the government, state or federal, may take the property and provide the previous owner with "fair value" or compensation for the taking.
Use the basic debate form. The proposition set forth is this: "The United States Supreme Court taking powers for real property are just and necessary. No modifications need exist to the takings clause at this time."
Your answer must be in 300 words, typed, double-spaced, Times New Roman font (size 12), one-inch margins on all sides, APA format.
