What does 'eminent domain' allow?

  1. The government to impose taxes

  2. Citizens to own property

  3. The government to take property for public use, with compensation

  4. Citizens to challenge government decisions

The correct answer is: The government to take property for public use, with compensation

Eminent domain allows the government to take private property for public use, such as building roads or schools, as long as the property owner is fairly compensated for their loss. Option A is incorrect because taxes are imposed on citizens to fund government services, not the other way around. Option B is incorrect because citizens have the right to own property regardless of eminent domain. Option D is incorrect because it is unrelated to eminent domain and is a constitutional right for citizens to challenge government actions.
