The document discusses eminent domain law and the power of government agencies to take private property for public use so long as just compensation is provided. It notes that this power is established in the Fifth Amendment of the US Constitution and the California Constitution, and that most government agencies and over 380 redevelopment agencies in California have this eminent domain power. However, challenges can sometimes be made if public use or necessity is not established, or to seek higher compensation than initially offered. The law firm Century Law Group can assist with challenges to seek higher compensation for taken property.

The document discusses the concept of titles in law. It defines a title as a link between a person and an object or property that serves as evidence of right of ownership. It notes that every right arises from a title, with a title being the facts that the law uses to confer a specific right to a person. The document then reviews different scholars' perspectives on whether title should be considered an element of right or the source from which rights originate. It also presents classifications of titles and facts related to rights.legal right

This document discusses legal rights from several perspectives. It defines a legal right as an interest or expectation guaranteed by law, such as constitutional, statutory, contractual or human rights that can be enforced in court. Legal rights have several elements, including a subject who holds the right, a person the right applies against, the specific content of the right, and the object or matter the right refers to, as well as the title or conveyance establishing ownership. Two main theories of legal rights are discussed: the will theory, which sees rights as inherent attributes derived from human will, and the interest theory, which defines a legal right as a legally protected interest without emphasis on will.Declaration of independence & northwest ordinance

Constitutional authority to regulateMayank Sharma

The Constitution established a federal government with enumerated powers shared with state governments. The Commerce Clause authorizes Congress to regulate interstate commerce and private businesses. States have inherent police powers but laws cannot substantially interfere with interstate commerce. Federal law supersedes conflicting state laws. While the Bill of Rights originally limited only the federal government, it has since been applied to states as well through the 14th Amendment. This protects various rights including free speech, religious freedom, due process, and privacy, though some restrictions are allowed.Jurisprudential analysis of rights to property

The document discusses the history and jurisprudence around the right to property in India. It begins with a brief history, noting that the right to property was originally a fundamental right but was replaced in 1977 as a statutory right to allow for more state control over land reforms. It then discusses the Indian conception of property as differing from the Western view and emerging from social and spiritual order rather than individual claims. The document also analyzes the Supreme Court's changing approach to the right to property before and after 1977. Recently, there have been calls to restore the right to property as a fundamental right to protect citizens from land acquisition by the state.Declaration of independence

The document discusses the Incorporation Doctrine and its impact on applying protections of the Bill of Rights to state and local governments. It began with the 1925 Gitlow v. New York case, which ruled that the 14th Amendment applies the 1st Amendment's free speech protections to states. This began the process where the Supreme Court nationalized most Bill of Rights provisions through the 14th Amendment's due process clause. Significant cases applied rights like counsel for capital crimes, confronting witnesses, and jury trials to states. The Incorporation Doctrine ensured individual freedoms are protected from infringement by all levels of government.Eminent Domain

The document discusses several topics related to free enterprise in the United States, including:
1) Constitutional protections for private property rights and contracts help enable free enterprise by protecting individuals' ability to profit from their work and property without excessive government interference.
2) The government plays an important role in maintaining stability through consistent rules and taxation, though taxes above a certain level could hinder free enterprise and corporate taxes may ultimately be paid by consumers.
3) Key principles of free enterprise like the profit motive, voluntary exchange, and competition are generally well supported in the U.S. system, though the government's role is debated in areas like stimulus spending and regulating certain industries.The constitutional authority of agencies

Federal Court Jurisdiction: Limited Jurisdiction
The term jurisdiction means the power to adjudicate. As the framers wrote the Constitution, some feared that the federal courts might threaten the independence of the states and the people. To combat this fear the framers set up a federal court system that can only hear cases in special circumstances. This is called courts of limited jurisdiction. Since the federal courts can only hear certain kinds of cases, most of the day-to-day cases that courts deal with happen in state courts.
Basically, federal courts hear only 2 types of cases; those that raise a federal question and those involving lawsuits between citizens of different states known as diversity of jurisdiction.
Also, all criminal tax cases are federal question jurisdiction arising under Title 18 or Title 26 of the U.S. Code. So, all criminal federal tax cases are filed in the federal district court.
Additional some civil tax cases are heard in the federal courts as well.
State Court Jurisdiction: General Jurisdiction
General Jurisdiction
The Tenth Amendment provides that powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
The ultimate effect these provisions have upon state courts is to reserve to them the right to hear and decide any legal matter not expressly reserved for the exclusive jurisdiction of federal courts (such as lawsuits between states).油
Thus, state courts are courts of general jurisdiction. They hear all the cases not specifically selected for federal courts. Just as the federal courts interpret federal laws, state courts interpret state laws. Each state gets to make and interpret its own laws. This helps the states retain power, and makes sure that the national government does not become too strong.
The Tax Court: An Inferior Court
The United States油Tax Court油is a federal trial油court油of record established油by Congress under Article I of the U.S. Constitution, section 8 of which provides (in part) that the Congress has the power to "constitute Tribunals inferior to the supreme Court".
When the taxpayer is called for an audit, the taxpayer has two choices: agree with the IRS or disagree.
If the taxpayer agrees, the case is over. If the taxpayer disagrees, the IRS sends the taxpayer a "notice of deficiency" (also called a 90-day Letter), stating the adjustments that the Service wants to make to the tax return. The taxpayer then has 90 days to file a petition with the Tax Court. If not filed within 90 days, the taxpayer has agreed with the IRS.
By going to the Tax Court, the taxpayer is suing the IRS in court.
The Tax Court consists of 19 judges who travel the circuit to all 50 states. Tax Court cases do not get tried before a jury. In a regular Tax Court case, i ...Enumeration of Inalienable Rights, Form #10.002

This document discusses issues surrounding government use of eminent domain to take private property for public use. It outlines that private property rights are protected by both the US and Washington state constitutions. While governments have some authority to regulate property under their police power, there are questions around when regulations go too far and infringe on constitutional rights. The Growth Management Act in Washington state establishes goals for land use planning, but only one of the 14 goals explicitly involves protecting private property rights, raising concerns that some GMA implementations may violate these rights. The document argues governments must consider property rights as a priority above other legislated goals when planning land use.Ph consti-compilations (1)

Eminent domain allows government agencies to take private property for public use as long as just compensation is paid. While negotiations can occur after an initial offer, once a lawsuit begins the informal period ends.

There are several types of legal rights, including perfect rights which correspond to perfect duties that can be enforced by law, and imperfect rights which are recognized by law but cannot be fully enforced. Other types include real rights which are available against everyone, personal rights which are against specific individuals, rights in rem which exist against the world, and rights in personam which exist against specific parties. Legal rights have various characteristics such as having an owner, subject, and content which is an act or omission.Federalism timeline

State immunityLeen Gultia
油
State immunity is a principle of international law that exempts a state from legal prosecution or lawsuits in another state's domestic courts. This stems from the principle of equality between states under international law - that one state cannot exercise authority over another equal state without its consent. As such, under the doctrine of state immunity, a state cannot be sued by another state or private individual without expressly or implicitly waiving its immunity. The Philippines constitution adheres to this principle of state immunity for the government. However, immunity can be waived through legislation, contracts, or filing a complaint that exposes the state to counterclaims.Eminent domain lawyer

- 2. Eminent domain (also known as condemnation) is the inherent power of local, state, or federal government agencies to take a citizens private property. The government can take the property without the owners consent so long as the property will be used for public use and the owner is paid just compensation.
- 3. The governments right to take personal property for public use so long as it pays just compensation is enumerated in the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution and article I section 19 of the California Constitution. People often refer to it as the takings clause.
- 4. Most government agencies have the power of eminent domain. In fact, over 380 municipalities in California have created redevelopment agencies with eminent domain power. However, on occasion there are instances where a successful challenge of a taking could be made when necessity or public use is not found.
- 5. More likely, a successful challenge can be made to the governments initial compensation offer for the taking. Century Law Group can assist you in your attempt to seek a higher compensation for your property interest.
