Show summary

Legal doctrine: Support The government cannot appropriate private property without offering fair compensation to the property owner.

████████████ ██ ███ ██████████ ██████████ █ ██████████ ████ ██████ ████████████ ██ ███████████ ███████ ████ ██ ███ █████ ██ ████ █████████████████ ███████████ █████ ██████ ██████████ ████ █████ ████ ████████████ ██ ███ ██████ ██ ████ █████████

Summary

Principle:

If the government does not offer fair compensation to the property owner, the government cannot appropriate private property.

Conclusion:

If the government passes a regulation that blocks construction on undeveloped lots on the shore of Lake Crowell (which will reduce the market value of those lots), then it must offer fair compensation to the owners of that property.

Find or Complete the Application

The principle prevents the government from “appropriating” private property without offering fair compensation. But does passing a regulation that blocks construction on undeveloped private lots constitute “appropriation”? We don’t know. To justify the concluion, we want to establish that instituting the regulation constitutes appropriation of private property.

Which one of the following ███████████ ██ ██████ ████ █████████ ███ █████ ███████████ ██ ███ █████ █████████

A government should ███ █████████ █ ██████████ ██ ████████ ████████ ████ ██ █████ ███ █████████ ██ █████ █████ ██ █████████

This doesn’t establish that instituting the regulation constitutes appropriation. So it doesn’t help establish that the principle justifies the conclusion.

Governments must balance ███ ██████ ██ ███████ ████████ ███████ ████ ███ ██████ ██ █████ ███ █████ ███████████ ██████████ █████████████

This doesn’t establish that instituting the regulation constitutes appropriation. So it doesn’t help establish that the principle justifies the conclusion.

Regulations that significantly ████████ ███ ████████ █████ ██ █ █████ ██ ████████ ██████████ ██ █████████████ ██ ████ █████████

We’re told that the regulation will reduce the market value of the lots. According to (C), then, the regulation arguably constitutes an appropriation of that property. (C) is the only answer that helps us argue that the regulation is an appropriation of property; that’s why it’s correct.
